I'm one of those folks who would hit the switch just as it caught flight - and yes it was a judged maneuver. Then again, I was still flying retracts until this past June... (and still would be if I could clear these enormous props!) Good point with creating another league altogether, but that might just lead to more splintering of the sport. I think the SPA is great and have considered dusting off some of the old birds I have hanging around. Maybe next year...
