It appears that the SCAT web site is down. Can any one direct me to or give me a breif summary of the rules? Jim
The SEN webpage has changed:
One can navigate from the “links” to get to the FAI FF rules. Here to save time.

For completeness, on the FAI site,a correction to the F1P attempt rule with regard to engine rule. The new 7 sec engine run was not changed in the attempt rules. Ditto for the F1J, 5 sec engine run change:
Technical Notice | 2008-03-03: F1J & F1P
* Technical Notices
2008 edition of the F1 Sporting Code.
An error has been identified in rules 3.J.5 & 3.P.5. The rules should read as follows:3.J.5. b) The motor run exceeds 5 seconds from the release of the model.
3.P.5. b) The motor run exceeds 7 seconds from the release of the model.These errors will be corrected in the 2009 edition of the Sporting Code.

Here’s Bob VanNest email. I’m not sure he may a couple of F1P AstroStar full or short kits. Something to see with a singing cyclon on the front end. Ask the juniors! JIM
Hi Jim, reading the model specs in the FAI rules book it states “wing area” so the stab is not counted as part of the 26 dm2 wing area, it’s extra!

The area rules are different that most of the other FAI FF Classes. That’s why it is the wing not total surface area. This was part of the idea with the wing span constraint to keep the aspect ratio down so a wooden wing would work and composites not be necessary.
As Jim mentioned the F1P Astro Star is the model to have in the all wood category. There is brief mention in SEN issue 1199 which can be found on the archive at http://www.faifreeflight.org. Bob Van nest at Norabobvan@cs.com has the the kits.
