You think you got it bad. I am unable to fly my original design that I used to win a first place trophy at the 1974 SOAR Nats because it was never published other than in our club newsletter. The original model still exists but is not flyable on modern high power winches. I did build a replica with a beefed up wing a few years ago to see if if really flew as well as I remembered. It didn't! I did take both the original and the replica to the Nats one year and displayed both along with the 74 SOAR Nats trophy and a sign reading "ILLEGAL NOSTALGIA MODEL"

C'mon lets face it, if one goes to a contest and his plane is on "the List", he wouldn't have to provide documentation, right? BTW, where is the Legionaire 132 on 'the list'? DUUUH!

I have been digging and asking for ANY type of "documentation" so I wouldn't have to be concerned about being disqualified by the CD after driving 200+ miles to attend a NOS event with my MalCo Eagle. Thanks bunches for the info, Chuck Anderson. I see light in the tunnel.....

Many of us are flying Vintage ships that have been bought at swap meets or from widows and have no source for the plans. Or the plans got wasted during construction! I am trying to find plans or a picture of the box for an Original(first edition) Windrifter 100 that shows the stab mounted on the fuse. I saw one once on eBay but didn't win the bid. Until then, I can't compete at an AMA NOS event with mine!!!!

THAT, is why I like the way Ray Hayes and Jack Womack think. I also have a set of plans for a Legionaire provided to me by Jack Hamilton that shows how to use a fiberglass boom like the one on his '76 FAI ship. But according to AMA rules - 'taint legal! I understand the original intent of the rules, but they are too restrictive and more dificult to document than a Scale ship!!
