LOL, sounds good! Our novice program is just:
takeoff
procedure turn
loop
stall turn
roll
immelman
Landing.

I think our rules concerning planes is that we use the FAI F3A competition rules for all classes, meaning you can go to town with a ZN line 2x2m plane in the novice class, but at events nobody ever does that

The novice class program mentioned above is actually easier to fly with a normal low-winger, or even a 4 channel trainer. The roll has a high K factor so high wingers don't score as well but it's no problem to compete with one ifyou want!

The Nordic program gets very serious so it's a huge step up from the novice class, although I have never competed I'd wish we had something in between.
