Classic/OTS rules

[Sean McEntee]

General consensus:  Is it acceptable  to substitute built up-wingtips with tips carved out of block—or vise-versa— so long as the overall outline isn’t changed?

Attached are the PAMPA OTS and Classic rules

[FLOYD CARTER]

Many OTS builders feel that ANY substitution or change from the plan degrades the spirit of the event.  The OTS model should be built exactly as shown on the plan, warts and all; "bouncy" landing, and all.

There is sometimes a temptation to fudge here and there in hopes of making a better flyer out of one that maybe wasn't so great, after all.

Sometimes, substitutions are necessary.  This usually applies to wheels, props, spinners, which are no longer available.  OTS officials understand this difficulty.

Any design change is looked upon with great suspicion.

Yeah, I think Doc said it best in his post in the rules section, and tips are definitely visible.
