I just checked the schedule for the Nats. It
is after all the time to get the new vacations lined up before anyone else wants
the same week off. Anyway, I noticed that Friday lists RES but not
Nostalgia. Is this correct? No NOS this coming year?

Nostalgia is now an AMA event and the rules are on their web site. I
think they are still on the LSF web site but these are now no longer
official.

Looking for the above. At one time I believe Nostolgia info was on the skybench web site. Thanks - Tom
I read the rules but it was kind of unclear. All that
was stated was that you could not change the size or
shape. If it means that each individual component

There used to be a page with the Rules on it, as provided by JAck Iafret, as a coursety to the soaring public.

I have a question for the Nostalgia rules type guys
out there. If I have a design with a balance tab on
the rudder and change it to a straight rudder is it
still legal. All sizes and outlines of the vertical
fin and rudder are unchanged except for the balance
tab.

I know that there are a lot of Nostalgia fliers that read this list,

Nostalgia question to the group. If for the sake of argument, one was to
build a Legionair and replace the "stock" spoilers with Multiplex blade
spoilers with servos in the wings would this modification make the
Legionair nostalgia illegal?

As you travel the soaring circuit, you'll notice that many people just gotta
fiddle with the norm. Sailaires with flaps, Gentle Ladies with bullet-proof
wings, etc. While I admire the purists -- I fly a dead-stock Sailaire whose

The philosophy of Nostalgia is to fly the old planes as they were designed. The pure

I too think Nostalgia and RES are fun. I personally don't get bothered by competing
against those with more expensive planes. I

the average newcomer feels the same.

As an AMA CD and a Nostalgia enthusiast and flyer I would consider your plane

I've read the Nostalgia class rules at

legal with either the 'glas or clear hatch.
You might want to contact Ray Hayes and get a "definitive" answer.

I was roaming the www this morning and was at the Dream Catcher site looking
at what was happening with all the Airtronics kits. There was a statement
associated with the Aquila XL kit that said that this ship was only legal
with a fiberglass hatch and not the clear one as on a normal Aquila fuse
OK sport fans, here is the ULTIMATE nostalga kit, NIB Dodgson Maestro Megan!
Kit is new in box. Typical Dodgson style with everything in the kit.
This is the 140" (or so) version. Unlike most nostalgia planes, this one has
a modern Eppler airfoil and flaps and ailerons or flapperons Yo
