I used to have a dog in the No-Cal hunt and it was usually a White
Monoplane canard pusher.

Has FAC banned Gampi tissue? If so, this may affect what a reasonable
weight should be. Maybe 5-g minimum should be better than 4-g minimum.
Currently at the USIC, our rules do strongly favor the Hosler Fury
design. They are ugly on your table, but not in the air!

There is a good summary of No-Cal design by Don Slusarczyk from several
years ago.
