Bla Bla and OneWasp,
I am not an SPA member, just an outsider looking in on this forum. I have built an SPA legal plane, not because of SPA but because I liked it.

It seems to me that the founders of SPA created an event, made rules to support it, then tried to get it established. They liked the planes that came before the Ballistic Pattern Ships.

I don't see that they have anything against Ballistic Pattern, nor do I see them holding anyone back. I also don't see them creating a new event for planes they weren't interested in in the first place. They weren't interested in the Ballistic Pattern Planes the first go round, and don't seem to be interested in them now.

BUT THE SPA IS NOT HOLDING THOSE FOLKS WHO WANT COMPETITION WITH BALLISTIC PATTERN SHIPS BACK, THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING. IF YOU WANT IT DEVELOP IT, GO FOR IT, DON'T BE SIDETRACKED NOR PUT YOUR FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS. DO IT FOR YOURSELF, instead of asking someone else to do it for you.

People who want Ballistic Pattern need to find like minded individuals, come up with a working set of rules, and hold contests. Don't wait for someone to do what you want for you.
