Nostalgia 30
Nostalgia 30 is in the same spirit as Old Time and Classic, which both, are events that were conceived to provide venues that promote the construction and flying of Historic designs from by gone eras.
Both have been extremely successful as evidenced by continued growth since their inception, Further, they both have benefitted from continued adjustments to the rules that proved to stimulate participation in both events by encouraging more modelers to build,show,and fly these historic planes.
This proposal provides for the addition of a new series of designs by establishing a new event that has a 30 year rolling cutoff, That is, any plane that is 30 or more years old from the current year will be eligible for competition.
Discussion
1. This event is about recreating the past, as Old time and Classic have been the focal point of stimulating construction of the older designs, This event will do much the same for this class of older designs. Without this format, in all likelihood, many of these designs will slowly disappear and be lost forever as the data, or designers pass from the scene.
2. For the past few years, many contests have been hosting unofficial events they are similar to this proposal, i.e.: " Nostalgia 79", "Classic 84",etc. This demonstrates there is both the enthusiasm for the inclusion of a new set of designs, but also the necessity for a standard set of supplementary rules.
3. Nostalgia 30 will utilize the same rules as the current Classic Event with the exception of the eligibility of newer designs that meet the 30 year or more criteria. Due to lack of time, circles, and manpower at weekend contest, this event is designed to be run in conjunction with Classic, and administratively separated with a separate set of awards.
It can also be flown as a separate event, whichever is the most convenient for the contest management. If ran with Classic which has designs over 30 years old, Contestants would be required to declare for either Nostalgia 30 or Classic, but not both.
4. These events should always be inclusive, not exclusive, and should always,within the rules, strive to include new flyers and new planes, remember what is a Nostalgic period to one person, can be a different era for another.

The above proposal has passed the PAMPA EC and is now an official PAMPA event as of July 2009. I hope this encourages the building and flying of more of these historic design stuntships

Hi Matt
NO it is setup to run both Classic and Nostalgia 30 on 1 circle with 1 set of judges and another set of awards. Or they can run just either one. This help contest management with NOT having to get extra manpower or extra judges.
If the contest runs Classic and Nostalgia 30 together then the pilot must declare which one he is entering, but cannot enter both.

Running the two events at the same time, and seperating them out at the tabulating table, will allow this event to be included in virtually any contest venue that includes Classic.
It'll probably take 6 months to a year before enough of us get new ships built, and we start seeing these newer ships showing up, but, after that, many N-30 planes may indeed show up.

Hi John
Thanks for your post, Maybe it will be much sooner than you think, many contest already have these airplanes flying, I have seen many Contest that allow planes from 1979 and up to 1984. One of the nice things about this class is it is inclusive of any design 30 years old or older

Hi Floyd
You do not need to separate Classic from Nostalgia as any Classic plane qualifies as a N.30 plane, matter of fact so does all Old Time ships.
Nostalgia 30 events are any plane 30 years or older period.

If they run the contest as two separate events ,Yes. If they are ran together I would suspect NO
The reason I set it up so they can be ran together on the same circle, is the problem local contest management has with lack of extra circles and manpower to run more events.
