<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The good news is as a sportsman you are exempt from all such rules stuff (site to site at CD discretion), and as a matter of fact, at local contests no one ever measures noise or wingspan. In otehr words taht excuse is not acceptable. Really if you want to wait and just watch that is okay...<br>

<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">The only thing I've got that would fly clean at all is an Edge, and I'd venture <br>
a guess it's a too loud (94 db) and too large (84" span). I'll be hard at work <br>
on my Widebody, and hope to have it done within the next month (maybe 6 wks). <br>
<br>
I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. It seems like there are quite a few <br>
pattern guys here in Dallas.<br>
