Maybe I am reading the latest INAV incorrectly but I do not see a prohibition on microfilm in the 2011 EZ-B One-Design rules. To quote the INAV:
"You will have to build the model to the exact parameters of the original plans, with the exception of the covering. You may use mylar of your choice."
I read this as allowing mylar to be substituted for microfilm as specified in the plans and not prohibiting microfilm. Perhaps we need to have Abram clarify his intent since it is his money people will be competing for. By the way, according to the write up by Wally Miller in the same INAV, the microfilm used in the original model was made from (nitrocellulose?) dope and castrol oil. Perhaps Sig's Nitrate Dope would substitute for the older dope and an exact copy of the original can be made by those who so desire.
Good air,

(And cash down to 3rd place.) He stresses the only design exception is covering--no microfilm allowed, as the 1960 Easy-B was mic covered.
