<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial> What are the
requirements for airplane. In sportsman, it seems to be o.k. to fly just
about anything (within reason, to get people interested) but I can't seem to
find any that say you have to have a 2M plane for the advanced
classifications. Rule 4.5 says "rules of the class" but I can't seem to
find a specific rule. I guess what this boils down to is if my backup
plane is a .91 sized plane, other than it may not be competitive, what keeps
me from flying it in intermediate, Masters, ect...? </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial> Also, how does
this apply to bi-planes? If I keep the weight below 11 lbs, I can fly up
to a 2M bi-plane? Seems reasonable.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
