Gary,

Sure, I'll fly P-18. I even designed a model that meets the provisional
rules. It'll do two minutes most of the time, but not always. In the hands
of beginners I don't see the whole field maxing out. Sure, I'll max out and
put it away and tell any kid who ties me they get free bag of stripped
rubber in the size of their choice or a kit or whatever.

I can tell this tie thing really has you worked up. I'm sure I can explain
what I am suggesting better. There don't have to be any ties. If a flyer
wants to get credit for flights over two minutes they can, in LPP. If a tie
is so abhorrent to anyone they can place last in LPP instead of tieing for
first in P-18. If they want to do better in LPP then they build real LPP
and the hook is truly set by then.
