I presume that the ARF Bird of Time is also ineligible for this contest? Certainly it requires less building than the Ava. How do you intend to enforce the building rule, other than arbitrarily disallowing specific aircraft. Browne Goodwin (owner of Ava, ARF BOT (extensively rfebuilt), and

Took my BOT ARF to the field today and got in some good flights. On one launch, I didn't think my high start chute was going to come down; it was stuck in a good thermal. Had a great time; clear skies, 50F and light winds. Hope some of you other guys were able to get out today! Ed Jett
