Perry,
We make it very clear here in the midwest what our rules are when RES or
Nostalgia is flown, they are the rules used at the Nats, pretty simple. You
are correct that flying nostalgia is few and far between, last year I got to
fly it at Mid South and the Nats. But RES is flown at a lot of our contests
and a wide variety of ships are flown, just two rules, all axis contols in
the back and spoilers are upper surface and 2" forward of the TE.

Well flying must be near cause I'm starting to get those contest flyers in
the
mail.
I'm a little confused about the bent wing class.
Let's see now. There is Nostalgia, there is Bent Wing No Foam, there is
Three
Function, there is RES and Run What You Brung.
I need to find the no sh-t Nostalgia rules.
I guess in RES and Three Function one could fly one of the new double git
back
carbonium/ kevlar beauties from the likes of Pal and the boys back East and
those guys from who and who out West, but you can't fly them in the Bent
Wing
or Nostalgia.
I have a ship that has rudder, elevator, and top and bottom spoilers and
have
been told that I could fly it in Three Function but not RES.
I guess I need a clear diffinition of what a spoiler is in model sailplane
circles.
I also have a Bird of Time with spoilers on it and have been told that I
can't
fly her in Nostalgia cause spoilers were not in the kit nor are they shown
on
the plans. Also I was told that I could not beef up the wings and that she
had to be box stock in order to be Nostalgia legal.
They know you fudged on the wing if you give your Paragon or BOT a full
pedal
launch and she stays together.
Geeze! Guess I'll have to learn how to pedal a winch.
At any rate, I wish the C.D.'s out there would be a little more clear about
what is legal in there bent wing type classes.
RES Carbonium/Foam OK
Three Function Top and Bottom Spoilers Ok/Spoilerons OK
Nostalgia Strict Nostalgia rules apply. Box/Plans Stock Only.
Run What You Brung No ailerons ,Flaps OK (Challenger/Paramount).
It wouldn't take up much room on their flyer and who knows, more people
might
show up if there was less confusion.
