Jeff,
Some answers to your questions....
Q 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?
A (YOU DONT SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ARF AND A FG FUSE WHICH HAS BUILT UP WINGS?) [sm=confused.gif]
Q 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.
A (EXACTLY, THEN BUILD THE PLANE) [sm=thumbup.gif]
Q I have built both types of kits and if you can take an ARF and compete you should be able to.
A (ONCE AGAIN, NO ARFS ALLOWED AT TOP GUN) [sm=drowning.gif][:@]
Q Otherwise how can you allow kits built by others and entered in the competition?
A (ITS CALLED TEAM SCALE...HAS ANYONE READ THE TOP GUN RULE BOOK YET??)
Q I hire someone to build a kit or buy and ARF what's the difference?
A (YOU DONT HAVE TO HIRE ANYONE TO BUILD THE MODEL.. ENTER IN TEAM AND FLY IT)
Q 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??
A (YOU SURE CAN... IN FACT, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO REPAINT IT!... ALTHOUGH YOU CAN ONLY ENTER IT IN PRO AM SINCE YOU DIDNT BUILD IT.... HOWEVER, IF YOU BOUGHT IT FROM THE BUILDER... TAKE IT TO TEAM... SEE HOW EASY THIS IS GUYS??) [sm=thumbup.gif]
Any other questions?
