Suggested "update" Nostalia rules
Paul Smith:
True, the 20-point bonus is not enough to encourage non-schunral engines. I have some older single bypass engines, but most are to too worn out to use.
But if we really wanted to have an honest Nostalgia Profile, we would offer a 60-point bonus for engines that met the actual pre-1975 rule:
Stock plain bearing 36 RC engines with the factory throttle.
That rule slammed the door on retrofitted ball bearing 40's with left hand cranks. The original intent was to have an event where you could buy (not build) the engine. Under that rule, an OS FP 35 would get the 60 points, but not the extra 20 for non-schnurle.

Love it. I could pull out my 36x r/c motor! ;D

Just the thing for my OPS 61, I KNOW YOU LOVE THEM TOO.

david smith:
I would be for allowing 2.4 in nostalgia. There is no performance advantage just a wallet and frustration benefit. Maybe I will actually finish the 2 nostalgia models I started 7 or 8 years ago.

This was my reply to Dick Perry:
H-m-m-m-m-m! You are asking someone who voted for the 60 degree rule believing no one could ever come close to the limit???? Now we are considering radio control in the Nostalgia classes? I reflect on the free flight folks that had (have?) an old time FF class that requires “period correct” designs but allows modern schnuerle (sp?) engines. Then there are Old Time/Classic/etc. stunt classes that allow modern engines AND electrics. How nice. Phooey on heritage! On the other hand, I spent three days trying to set up a three line system in a new AMA Profile Guardian and have not succeeded yet! I hate line sliders!!!! The thought has occurred to me that a servo would be nice. My three Nostalgia planes, one for each class, have traditional three-line systems. How much fun would it be to install an R/C system in a Netz Guardian? Don’t know and won’t try. Maybe in a Mauler for Cl. 2? More room there. Easier in a Profile. All that said, I won’t oppose R/C systems in Nostalgia classes. Anything to encourage more participation! Shouldn’t there be more than what is implied in 5.2.3 regarding 2.4 R/C systems since they are the only R/C systems allowed by AMA. An exception might be for the old down-the-line radio system that was tried years ago. Good luck! Ron
