Default Need Redefined SPA or New Class!!

Sorry flywilly, but those three you mentioned as being designed for turnaround were not. Steve Helm's Bootlegger was designed in 1980 or 81, he made the 1983 USA team with a Bootlegger, the last year of "old Style" F3A. The Illusion was also designed in 82, DB flew it in the 1983 World Champs, though I believe he made the 83 team with a Tiporare. The EU1 was flown in the 1977 World Champs in Springfield, and the EU1-A was kitted by Dave Scully, I believe, by 1980.

All of these were used in turnaround, but they all pre-date it.
