I don't know why SPA decided on the rules they use but in my opinion that is why
the organization hasn't grown nationwide. Everyone who loves SPA says they want
to keep pattern as it was in the old days but it's nothing like it was in the old days.
Most of the planes are so different than the originals they resemble them in name only
and I still can't figure why no retracts and pipes and what's with those .91 four strokes ?
If you like it like that, fine but don't say it's like the old pattern days because it's not.
