I had all these same thoughts and feelings as you guys, till I went and flew in an SPA contest. Now I have a "legal" SPA plane, and I'll tell you, it's not crippled. All I flew was retracts and tuned pipes, so I had the same views as you guys. Once you go to a contest and see the gear, and fly one of their planes, you'll see there is no difference.
