Default RE: Is Spirit 100 ARF illegal?

I kind of wonder if they consider that a skeg since it is swept rearward. Other skegs that I have seen are forward sweeping to really stop the plane. I would tend to think that the protrusion on the bottom will not break the plane any faster than landing on the tow hook would.

I am looking at the rules now and cannot see anything regarding a skeg. http://www.modelaircraft.org/comp/05.../RCsoaring.pdf
