Good call on getting rid of 505-- it's hard enough to build a light Peanut to FAC rules, where you don't have to worry about scale rib spacing & other such sillyness! The competition will be more meaningful when 6 fliers battle it out for one event, rather than 3 in AMA Peanut and 3 in FAC. (and hopefully many more than that...)
And the A6 rules look great to me as well, as a modeler with FF scale experience but no "duration" experience-- paper and solid motor sticks are much less intimidating than plastic covering, rolled motor sticks, boron, VP props, etc etc. Keeping A6 basic keeps the door open for more people.
Thanks!
