Re: No-Cal Rules for USIC
Hi John
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is amazed at rule makers :-) I can see changing a rule when needed for example ,to clarify or simplify . But some folks just seem to enjoy change for change sake. I for one might fly one of my competition models for 5 - 10 years unless the rule changes.
When No Cal had an unlimited weight class those of us who built 1.5 -2 gram models heard grief that average builder can't build that light. Somewhere along the line 6.2 g was established and I had no problem with that and neither did most other guys.
it's oniy a problem when different contest have different rules for weight .I guess I'm getting old and I like things to be stable .Makes no difference to me if we fly a best single high time or total of 3 flights. All that changes is the tactics.I personally like best single time out of 5. But no matter that's just my preference.
In WW-II no cal we see different models due to the rules stating WW-II style airplanes so if ya want to fly something other then a Fury enter WW-II no -cal combat :-)
Your right it's all about wing loading .
See ya
Chuck

I am constantly amazed at the oddities of Free Flight rule makers. Almost
everything except the few international classes are a source of confusion
and contention, stifle development and have loopholes galore. Surely if one
is looking to frame rules for a duration class then one looks at the factors
that affect duration. Certainly in No-Cal the wing loading is one of the
first things to consider if the, very necessary, change in rules is to be
successful.
