Vortex Generators

[Clay Pitkin]

In the rule book it mentiones Vortex Generators, however in the classes that we run in, it does not mention or say anything about them. So does that mean its legal to run them, or are they approved for other classes?

TIA
Clay

What class do you run, Clay?

[Clay Pitkin]

Potentially BFCC, GC, FCC, BGCC, GCC

Thanks

2008 rule book, pg. 41, 4.CC and pg. 43, 4.CC.8, discuss the requirements, I would wait for Dan W. to answer.

Me thinks that in the 2nd paragraph of the rule book (5.D.1 page 62 of the '08 book) where it says "Other than top chopping, no modification to the body is allowed". But I too would like to hear from Dan........

The Comp Coupe class allows streamlining ahead of the cowl. First paragraph in section 5.D.1  states that streamining devices included in 4.CC can be used.

The original question included GC, I figure this was a typo. If not, section 5.D.3, page 66, 3rd paragraph states that any streamining devices included in 4.CC cannot be used.

If I may once again refer questions to the new rules clearing house:

If you think a rule needs better wording please submit a change form, available at www.scta-bni.org.

Lets all try to work with Dan on the rule book questions on the SCTA web site. It becomes a matter of record for SCTA to follow up during the year and for forecasting rule changes for the next year. I am sure Dan will allow answers to be given to this web site after they(SCTA) gives their response.
