Default RE: Starting the BPA

it would have to be sanctioned as a fun fly event, low priority. It is not an AMA rulebook event. We would be, for all intents and purposes, a special interest group.

I think the framework we have laid out is a great place to start. Any objections?

We're talking 2 classes, 3 schedules of difficulty in each. One is for classic planes like Tipos etc, the other is for the planes from the early-mid 80s to the 72" turnaround designs, 1.20 size limit, anything goes. And this is just a loose reference.

What I'd like to see is right now, pick it apart, find the flaws so we can ajust before we rule ourselves into a hole with unintended consequences. Being a competition by nature, we have to have some rules, I'd just like to see them kept extremely general.

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes, just been rolling this one in my head for almost 5 years so now I'm excited
