So if I built a 4 gram model with an 8" prop and did 7 minutes then you
are OK with that? But if I build a 3 gram model with a 10" prop that
does 7 minutes you are not OK with that? How does that makes sense?

But they have not for 20 years. If this was an issue why did not Ross
Mayo tell the three of us with Hosler Fury models and huge props not to
fly? He was the CD in charge at the Buffalo Bills meet of FAC events and
he has final say per FAC rulebook, so if the President of the FAC has no
issue then why do you?
