I actually have a second place trophy from a SPA event from 1995 and several from the
60's and 70's when we flew the real thing so I know what the real airplanes looked like.
I don't have a problem with modifying the airplanes, heck I wish the rules from the old
days were used so we could fly any airplane. It's your rules that say they want to stay
true to the old designs, then let them alter them so much they only resemble the original
airplanes, mostly in name only, then run big 4-strokes which weren't used back then that I have
a problem with. If you like the SPA rules as they are, fine, just don't claim you're staying
true to the old days of pattern because you're not. I've seen and flown with original
Daddy Rabbits and what you allow today aren't Daddy Rabbits. Same with a bunch of other designs.
If you think it's OK to have all these differences why not electric, what is the difference really ?
