Therefore they cannot be considered international in scope. There is nothing wrong with this, as apart from the chronic rule haggling, you all seem to be pleased with the system. As for an FAI recognised national champion you would have to be flying FAI categories. -- John O'Sullivan Nova Scotia Wind and Wave Models http://www.windandwavemodels.com/index.html
