I have discussed having a contest with several people in the NSRCA DIST 3 I.E. Jon Lowe , Joe W. Ryan M. Lamar B. Jason S. MIke H. and several others and I believe we have enough people to have a contest here in Huntsville Alabama some time in Aug 07. I am currently working on a proposal to present to my club to hold this event.


Rules

1. PLanes are to be pre 2m basically before the engine ban was lifted, under or around 70 in. wing span this dictates engine size 120 4c or smaller( .61 2c)

2. Patterns will be pre turn around ( no box ) patterns Will be determined long before the event.

3. Classes 3.> novice, sportsman, masters.

4. muffled pipes, retracts,super chargers, electric, NO2, what ever cranks your tractor.

5. AMA rules will be the guide line. any snaffu will be handled by pilot or cd consensus.

6. Basically show up with a plane, hopefully something resembling an older style plane or under or around 70 in. and fly


The purpose of the event is to fly the older style planes and have some fun> If you are the type of Pilot that pops a vein if you don't win or get the perfect scores then this event is probably not for you. Fun and flying skills with the older planes will be the order of the event.


There will be more info as I get it or make it up.


So there is less than a year to build, buy or borrow a plane for this event.

All those that are wanting an event of this type here it is leave the SPA guys to there niche and help create your own, I personally like what the SPA does and think there is no reason they should change it.
