Half A at Brodak's - Rules discussion
goozgog:
How do people imagine the split
between reedies and front rotary
valve engines?
- Two classes?
- Two separate events?
- Extended or no time limit for reedies ?
Also, please check out the extended
tank on engine #5 in my picture.
Should it be allowed?
I am having fun designing in my head
and since I have a lot of Cox options,
I am fighting a temptation to hot rod this
thing out of all proportion to the event.
I probably need a dose of reality.. n1

Larry Renger:
Keep it as simple as possible. Remember, if there are no rules, you can't cheat! LL~
Check out the Kwikee Stunt rules in the main forum version of this topic.
Paul Smith:
If I were writing the rules I would say:
Open Class: any piston engine up to .050 cubic inches of swept volume and full AMA Stunt Rules.
Reed Class: Golden Bee and Black Widow only and AMA pattern less the squares & triangles, pit stops permitted.
That seems simple enough.

Transcribing the Kwikee Stunt Rules to keep it easy.
KWIKEE STUNT RULES
This event was designed to allow very quick 1/2A contests.
AIRCRAFT
Wings must be flat sheet, no airfoil. Edges may be rounded
ENGINE
Limit .061 ci. ( 1cc )
PATTERN
All the maneuvers in the modern PA pattern except only
one lap is required between maneuvers and only one of
each maneuver is required.
JUDGING
All pilots are required to judge each flight other than there own.
The entire flight is judged on a one to ten scale. The scores are
simply added up.
For example, if there are ten competitors, the minimum score
would be 9, the maximum 90.

Hello Motorman,
I don't think anyone is making rules yet,
and I sure don't want my better 1/2A planes
left out either.
There are so many variables.
We need to talk about it.
Cheers! - K.
