Wow, nothing gets your point across quite like calling people names eh Chuck? This will be my 6th season racing with SAM's club. Even in that relatively short time I have noticed the changes in airplanes. Chuck correct me if I am wrong but I don't recall seeing you at any of the races I attended. Things have changed and they have done so because the majority of racers are what are driving the changes. Look at how pattern has changed, look at how much other forms of racing has changed, compare an old F1 airplane to the current Q40 or even a Scat Cat of 25 years ago against a Viper. Like it or not things change. In this case the airplanes have evolved into what 99% of the participants want to fly. Once again I consider all posters in this thread as friends ( except Chuck, never met the man but after this not too interested in doing so ) but being a friend also means telling your friend the truth. Today that truth is quit complaining and if you are really this passionate about the subject then submit an official rules change request to the SAM's board. Get as many people to back you first. Complaining never solves anything, take action through the correct channels.

Chuck, from my point of veiw you really have no dog in this hunt and are using this thread to grind an ax with Jeff. If you want me to put any validity to your voice then show up in April with an airplane.
