Is there at least some consideration for this rule to be changed in the future? I'd like to not have retracts on my planes that I can't use during the contest. I don't remember Blue Angel's, Curare's, Mach One's, UFO's... not having retracts when I was growing up.
They could make a special class where retracts and tuned pipes are allowed for the guys that want to spent a bit more and have a "real" pattern ship.But that`s allready been said a few times before here.Nothing beats the sight and sound off a pattern ship coming on the pipe and making some speed.
On the other hand you guys should be lucky there is something like the SPA. Here in the Netherlands they just moved on and almost all guys forgot these beautiful planes.
And sound has a lot to do with it here because it is so full off people here that there`s always one guy/women complaning about the noise
