Ok so if you want to use an ARF in "Top Gun" you can't. If you want to buy a plane built by someone else or an ARC and fly it in Top Gun you can, but only in Pro Am class? So if I buy a glass fuze from someone, build the wings and other flying surfaces and finish it to scale, I am fine?

What if it's a foam core wing and all I do is sheet it, glass it and paint it? I just don't see the difference with a Ziroli kit with a glass fuse and pre-cut wings and an ARF? So one needs the wing assembled and covered and the other dosen't. Big deal. Sure the Ziroli kit will take longer because you have to build the wing and cover it, but it's not that hard to build a wing. I have built both types of kits and if you can take an ARF and compete you should be able to. Otherwise how can you allow kits built by others and entered in the competition? I hire someone to build a kit or buy and ARF what's the difference? Can I buy a Top Gun winning plane from last year and then compete with it this year, maybe repaint it and change a few things??
