As some people may know, Wally Miller is the original creator of the Easy B
event. He's back at it again with a proposal for an event that he's
calling X-16. You can read more details at the link below, but the idea is
a model that's a stepping stone to more advanced classes like intermediate
stick and F1D. Wally has kindly donated trophies for 1st and 2nd place at
this years Kibbie Dome Annual contest. While this is not an AMA event, it
will be flown as an official event. I've included the rules below, and an
article from Wally that explains more about his goals as well as a plan for
his prototype model.
