We have a family new to A6 models--we all are, now--wanting to improve flight times, and all this forum has posted for their reference is an ancient plan of the prototype by Mather.

Is Mather's A6 the "go-by" of AMA rules? Do plans for Gowen's Cat 4 record attempt this past December show his prop's construction details?

People want plans. I'll send people to the only place I know having current information.

Yes, if the rules allow, everyone deserves to know and understand what those rules represent.

P.S. What has all this Poll information got to do with the rules? Or, a current plan built to the AMA rules?
