Kang,



They are extremely successful events but they are not true beginner events anymore. Nor would the next beginner event be as soon as the experts run the times and performance up beyond the beginners ability to compete or even comprehend how to compete.

Bill (Carney),
First, LPP, F1L, and A6 are already successful events. What Bill Gowen and I are suggesting is a way to make these model events easier to build and fly. It is actually a way to lower the barrier of entry.
This proposal cannot bridge the gap between experts and beginners. That gap is narrowed only through experience, experimentation, and skill. This proposal, however, can make some of these classes even more accessible, which I hope means more enjoyment.
I had a really hard time making my EZB fly last weekend because of excessive bowing of the motor stick. I understand why beginners and intermediates do not want to fly a 0.5 g EZB. But if MS bracing is allowed, the 0.5g EZB becomes a much tamer pet.
