If allowed, fly it in both classes.  Mine were always set up for racing. D>K

I think a Super 70s ship can not be Old Time or Classic legal.

The Twister is legal, and possibly the Banshee. Anyone got a list?  ???

Twister is super 70's legal,  banshee is classic legal. I spoke with Jim Rhodes on the phone in December, and he said he was checking a list to give me that info. So there's something floating around out there.

I flew one in Classic at VSC 12 (circa 1999) and it managed a second place finish.  Had an FP .25 in it swinging a too long ~4 pitch wood prop of some kind.  Still hanging on the ceiling of my garage and was finally flown again late last year following Mr. Buck's advice using the APC 9X4.  Still flew pretty good considering the pilot wasn't "current in type" [in full scale lingo!]

p.s.  A short search determined Carl Goldberg Models wasn't in business until 1955 which would preclude the "racers" from OTS eligibility I believe.
