Damn! Now that I've got a RES plane with foam cores and carbon skins (which
just so happens to be allowed by my reading of the rules) I come to find out
that it is against the "spirit" of the rules. It seems to me that somebody
has taken a pry bar to the rules and popped in this "spirit," leaving a lump
that is indiscernible to me, in effect, bending the rules themselves. Now,
about this broad cheater stripe that I've been painted with, does everybody
in open class have one? It just does not come out in the wash, so I'm hoping
it'll just blend in :~) At least in open class, since I can't mix it up with
the big boys, I can provide a context of mediocrity in which others can
excel. :)
