Ya, many indoor classes have one or more relatively extreme aspects. One famous ezb flyer doesn't do F1d due to how tightly we have to launch (risking destruction of motorsticks here and there.) That's what's good, and also bad about having so many indoor classes--you get to pick your poison.

I don't need to find 4.0 lb wood for anything else I build, so I'm not going to start that hunt in order to make a long-winged 1.3" chord A6 out of 1/16th square sticks. And the really light c paper is not even available last I heard. A6 functioned just FINE as a so-called club event, even with competing sets of rules. AMA event induction was not really needed (was my main comment to contest board member.) But I'm happy if it keeps a few others happy and motivated. Hope y'all are enjoying it. I might try a variable pitch A6, heheh.
