As a purest, I dont like electric planes, but they should not have removed them from competing. What they need to do is look into class restructuring. I think they need a purest class and then the modernized class with the electrics and 4 strokes. What I would think would happen is you would get the best from both groups; because, they are not having to sacrifice something. The planes are not tech equal which means someone will always have something to gripe about eliminate the gripe. You will also see what planes competitors really want to fly instead of trying to fit in.
Maybe there should be a 3/4 scale F3A class, for performance minded folks. 60'' wingspan taildraggers powered by .90 4-strokes or electric motors. They don't need to look like any plane from the past.
Nostalgics need not apply.

I'm really glad I reread this post, Tom. I didn't get it the first time, for some reason.
You're right. People are trying to form the SPA into what they really want - a different F3A than what presently exists.
