I am trying to find out when the Force was officially designed.

Mike Pratt, the designer of the "Force" has had a number of airplanes by that name.  You will probably have to be a bit more specific.

I am looking for the  flapped profile I guess the version on the Pampa site for the date. I was not aware that there are different versions.

Indeed there are different versions.  The basic Primary Force is a profile without flaps...there was indeed a version of that same airplane with Flaps and nother changes.

One of the airplanes Mike had at a past contest here in Tucson was a beautiful full blown Stunter with a PA65 and bout 700 sq in of wing area.  It was also called a Force!

If your purpose in finding a date is to see if they are classic legal, I think none are...I'm not sure about Super 70's but truly doubt it!

Certainly the one in PAMPA News Mag is not!

Maybe Mikey P. will weigh in here he does occasionally show up on the forum but hasn't been on for a while.

Yep, a PM to Mikey would probably have gotten a faster answer.
