Here is a better question,
I show up to fly carrier at your contest,, I want to fly nostalgia profile, I have what appears to be a sterling mustang,, Its my first or second contest,, do you give me the bonus, or send me away likely to not fly carrier again,,
whats the focus here, to preserve the trophies for the veterens, or get new blood in. As I understand it, profile and nostalgia is the "fun" event, not the cutthroat competative event with sliders and screaming motors,, of course thats my perspective
I wont build something I dislike just because,, I wont be made to feel as though I am being judged differently because I am new,, but ,
the rules may IMPLY one thing,, but what they say is different.Just what the heck am I supposed to do, build a plane, practice, show up and then find out that on THIS day, its not qualified for the bonus, but tomorrow it might be? .
This is exactly what prompted me to put my brand new K and B back in the box,, put the plans and kit away,, and build a new stunt ship instead.
because the rules as printed do NOT make clear what the stand on nostalgia is,, and I want to enter a model I can fly competitively in profile, and Nostalgia ,,
so perhaps, instead of this exact conversation taking place several times a year, someone who is in the event, should make CLEAR in the RULES what is and what is not legal.
