Hello

Im building my first A6, and I have some questions
about the propeller. The rules say:

"3. Propeller 6-inch maximum diameter. Blades to be flat 1/32"
minimum sheet wood, no forming (no twist or camber)."

But is any limit on prop spar? I like to use a round tapered spar, and
build a hub with paper tubes. Is this ok? If not... how it has to be?

Now, on wing ans stab structure, rules say:

"2. All wing, rudder & stabilizer construction including wing &
stabilizer posts shall be 1/16" Sq. minimum, ..."

So, can I use bigger that 1/16" Sq.?
If I use bigger dimension it still has to be square?
I like to use 1/16" x 3/32" in wing spars.

Finally, I have seen in last USIC results, where Tom Sova and Gary
Hodson (im building wis Wart model) to break th 10 minutes. What
incredible times!!

Is Tom Sova time, 0:10:21 the national A-6 record?
What CAT (roof ceiling) was Usic-2006?
And what are the best times for A-6 in CAT I, II, III and IV?

mmm. Thats a lot of questions. :)

Thanks.

Ignacio.
