Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if SPA went back to 2 stroke .61's..... (doubt that this will ever happen) or at least, to a smaller four stroke that really is equivalent in power (like an .82). I have to agree with the others on this post, that SPA is about the way it used to be (as much as possible). Yah, the radio's are digital now, and lots of people have better building skills than I used to have (actually. I'm still back in the '70s with my heavy building techniques). I'll be using a 2 stroke 61, but I'll make my Deception a tail dragger because of the rough fields most of us fly from. I actually never flew off grass (except for the grassy hillside near the NCO club at Spangdahlem AB in Germany - John Lingrel will know what I'm saying) back in the day! The roughest field I ever flew from back then was the dry lakebed at Edwards AFB in California. Your plane could fall into the dry lakebed cracks they were so wide. Anyway, sounds like the SPA BOD is committed to NO "E" power so let's just get back to flying issues.
