Is the Blue Box Nobles Classic Legal?
« on: January 17, 2016, 09:50:23 PM »
Howdy Folks,

A good friend of mine has a blue box Nobler that was had a date of 1978 non it. So my question is whether that model is Classic Legal or not.

Thanks very much!

Bob

   I would check with the Moon brothers to be sure. There is a version of the Gieseke Nobler that is classic legal, and it does differ from the Blue Box Kit. The Blue Box kit is for sure N-30 legal, but I would defer to a higher authority for the 1969 classic time period cut off date. Do a search here on the forums for the story George Aldrich told me of how BG came to build the first one. I've typed it out at least three times before I think but too tired tonight! Again, one or both the Moon brothers were pretty close to Bob and helped them develop that UHP component kit that they came ot with a few years ago that is classic legal.
  Type at you later,

Technically, it is not a Classic legal version, but the kit is always allowed in all the contests I ever went to.  The main "seeable" difference in the TF kit and Classic legal versions is the fin/rudder.  But I would not worry about flying it in contests other than VSC, don't know about there :)

Bob,
There should be no trouble making the rudder like Bob's pencil drawing with the taller rudder.
