Not the intent at all Kevin. These rules were developed for safety, simplicity and sportsmanship in slope racing, not combat. The people that are objecting 1) are misinterpreting them, 2) are a minority, or 3) don't belong in those beginner classes anyway. The foamie classes are being developed to bring more people into slope racing without major costs. You can buy a kit off the shelf and jump in without modifications to the kit. We are combining two of the three 60 inch classes to provide a foamie class that people can get creative with and still not spend a lot of money smashing up composite ships. The 60 inch and unlimited composite classes are still there for the serious slope racers who can afford it, or are great builders, and like to build. Jerry R.

John Phillips' method got tested at the Brit Pylon nats this Saturday, worked just fine! I appreciate the discussion you chaps are having about rules, it's made me rememebet how much I hate them (:-) I see rules about, rules, about other rules in my day job but they have to be there. We are just trying to have good clean fun. If anyone tries to outlaw a small tongue of ply accross the centre on your wings beacause it's "not legal" send them to me and I'll ensure a slow and painfull death by MacDonalds.<VBG> Keep up the good work.
