I won't comment on the "scale" thing again since it has already been discussed, resolved and we have moved on. The reason I am posting is to clarify your interest in the 2016 Warbird Nats.
I will be the CD and Promoter. The rules I have submitted are in the hands of the NMPRA and should soon be approved. Once that happens I will bring them public here on RCU under the name of warbird nats 2016. I also have a FB post i will use titled warbird nats. I am asking anyone planning on designing and racing a plane of their own to call me and get the 3 views approved prior to the time spent. We certainly encourage racers to be racers but we dont want Q40 type planes in our event. I have assembled a team of qualified pilots to help get all of this going. Both from RCPRO and the Sams group. I have already had several phone calls about this race. i have told the builders to send me their 3views first and then build it as the plans that were submitted. I will then review these at the race to ensure they built these planes to the plans they submitted. Because this is National event, we will take the time to ensure this happens. No templates, no jigs, just a proper review to ensure they are what they first submitted. The "spirit" of what we will do at the 2016 Nats is to race, not build detailed scale planes. Yes we want to be able to look at the plane and go, "yes that is Macchi, or a Vendetta". The main criteria will be the engines size to wing area specs that must be adhered to. It is that simple and perhaps why it also as successful as it is. I hope you will consider racing with us, especially since you will already be there for EF1. Like Tommy said, this is real racing, even with the B/O limits. It brings more discipline to the event and definitely more strategy. I suspect with the summer temps and humidity in Muncie we will see most guys racing wide open any way. Feel free to email me or contact me with any questions you might have.
