Default RE: SPA Rules question- Why aren't retracts allowed?

I've got some pics posted on another thread here, just don't remember which one. If you do a search for the gator flea on here it will find it. It's slow-going right now because I just started back in the hobby and I don't have access to all my dad's tools anymore, so any time I run across a new step that I haven't faced before I have to go out and buy something else. I finally attached the stabs last night and began the process of building up and shaping the fillets around them. I'm at a stopping point now until I get time to pick up some hardware for it. This plane is gonna have fixed gear because the old trike set I mentioned in my previous post would be too heavy for it. Thinking about a Saito .52 for the power, haven't decided yet though because I have an Enya .45 CX that could go in it too if I can find a carburetor for it. I'll post more pictures once I've gotten a little farther in the process. If there's enough interest I'll start a build thread for it. One thing I will say rainedav, that wing was a beast to sheet... double-tapered with the sheeting wrapping around the leading edge instead of a balsa block leading edge. Do you have a kit for it or were you planning on scratch-building?
