PAINLESS,

I took a quick look at the rules on the AMA web site. I didn't find any mention of any restrictions regarding ailerons or flaps for any of the classes. It is possible that scale considerations could enter in for some of the classes, but it didn't seem like it.

Certainly, weight could be an issue. Most of the classes had min. and max. weights. I am assuming that most serious competitors come in right at the minimum weight, and could lighten further. If that is the case, then I would expect that using some of the min. weight allotment on variable camber would have good payback. The total weight would be one servo & odd linkages. I don't think the complexity involved would be an issue for any of the serious competitors.

It would be great if someone who is active in pylon racing would fool around with it. I'm sure it won't be me, as I am still working on getting my Goldberg Eagle back in the air to show my 7 year old son. Maybe THE TICK??
