together first draft based Formula using alky engine could sold because marginal flying fields countries second draft did sell simply en larged plane get takeoff landing characteristics needed small fields Formula event has suc cessful simply because rules create racer appeals racing people because average modeler uninitiated spectator can relate fullscale racing realized fact first FAI event also required aircraft semi-scale form event proved just attractive Formula As desire become competi tive grew some contestants searched loop holes disregarding original intent rules managed qualify some racers close semi-scale apparent way speed indicated others followed Soon consideration original intent have realistic racers gone major changes rules put effect As always nit-picking rules gain speed advantages starts never seems end result people could agree set FAI Pylon rules long enough become official Hence interest lost because specialization no opportunity World Championship Another example sort thing beginning show up what has attractive event modelers Quickie 500 racing event has great original intent followed simple airplane stock power flown fun racing Now experience has gained class some starting look speed result being sorts modifications original rules nit-picking goes just seems cannot get away basic Formula concept lasting success has to pylon racing just going

New Zealand proposal minor revisions would allow Formula aircraft compete FAI Pylon course would bring semi-scale aspect perhaps importance would make FAI event attractive great number worlds finest racing people Particfpation event needs However such event would World Class event would superior other established racing event As written informative piece never involved FAI also sounding board established racing people critical question can asked Would racing people interested event would allow Formula racers compete yet have potential superior racer Would interested flying craft would realistic Formula possibly possess finer performance Intriguing question isnt could write set rules semiscale racers would allow Formula design participate simple alteration description racer open door aerodynamically appealing interesting types air racers variety has much appeal racing aircraft would ex panded greatly some outstand ing designs could surely found change would simple FAL machine could patterned after aircraft ever involved air racing would finest form pylon racing could create considering factors involved Think about discussing changes locally avid racing type immediately
