That's certainly your loss and not ours. I can't believe your opinion is
very widely supported by other builders.

for me, that is a simple answer: I don't have the time / inclination to
build everything that I fly. sometimes I build, sometimes I just want to
fly - rarely, I get to do both in a week
I built hand launch stuff last year, and I liked that I could spend time
researching, "fiddling" with

Not all of us, even newcomers. :>
For heavens sake Andy give it a break. You have proved without a shadow of doubt to
yourself that you are the only one doing it
right. Now let the rest of us enjoy the hobby (sport) in whatever fashion we choose!!

I thought I was being very clear here,

picking the right plane out of 14 models you have in the pits.

By allowing multiple models not only are you causing an increase in cost
to fly the event and be competitive, you are also lessening pilot skill

Interesting this should come up. As CD for the 2002 NATS HL, I was planning
to allow multiple ships for the contest as I did back in 2000. But this was
not approved as a deviation of "The" rules of AMA for the NATS. I think in
HL multiple ships are very appropriate, reynolds numbers are low and

I really agree with most of your post, and it was a good one, but the above
scenario is not
Man, since I left this hobby in 1980, things have
really changed. The letter of the rules has changed,
but more importantly, the spirit of the rules has
changed. IMHO, not for the better. If I can't beat you
because I'm a better pilot, I'll do it because I have
11 models and I'll fly every one of
