 D>K  Here are the flight and static score sheets and they will be posted on the NASA web site soon. I have had contact with Mark and he said ok.

It's certainly a simple event! That's good.

That "rounded spinner or acron nut" rule is a good way to disallow almost all of the 1/2A entries. 

Was that the intent?

Are you referring to the rounded slotted machine screw on Cox engines?? ???

I think Dubro makes some nice rounded nuts for 1/2A's and the spinners are available from Brodak, aren't they? Most 1/2A's have 1' to 1 1/2" spinners anyway, I don't see the problem.

No problem.

Just disallow all entries that fail to comply.

It will reduce particiaption and make the event smaller and easier to run.

Spinner........? Acorn nut.......? You got to be kidding me Paul. What would you suggest?
If you look at the requirements for all other C/L scale events, static requires the same. It is not my rule.
Complacence to the rules is mandatory in any event, not just 1/2A.
All the 1/2A's I've bought in the last 30 years came with a spinner.

It's good to air this early so people don't make the trip for nothing.

All the other events, including combat & racing, where somebody might actually get hit, put that fool rule aside 50 years ago.

It's a local event.  You can make the rules anything you want.  1/2A's are routinely exempt rules made for big engines.  Mufflers for example.

Paul, we are going to have a pilots meeting at the Nats this year for the first time since I've been flying scale and we will discuss possable rule changes and anything else that might help c/l scale to prosper. And I personally would like to see it simple, the last thing we need is to have scale rules look like a lawyers brief. We don't need 100 pages of rules to have competition, but we do need rules and guidelines to keep it fair and safe.

Blessings
