RE: SPA Rules question- Why aren't retracts allowed?
I was just taking a second look at those plans you have for the Gator Flea there... it shows a foam core horizontal stab... that's crazy, my kit has a built-up sheeted horizontal stab. I wonder which one is older... And I'm inclined to think my plans are because from what I remember my dad's Compensator also had a built-up sheeted stab. Not positive though... I can't wait to build the bootlegger now though, cuz it's a Steve Helms (of Futaba fame) design that was basically the same as the Compensator but had a glass fuse and was designed for a rear exhaust engine. In fact when I finally build it, it's going to have compensator wings because I don't have pre-cut cores for the bootlegger.
