Oh, so Campbell sent you here to rehash his grandiose Barnstorming
piece...

Why bother...no one wants to read his lies, let alone yours.

Especially when all you yapping mutts say he should have registered the
record with FAI, when in fact FAI did not begin accepting records in the
microlight category until 1984.

Juan, you do realized, don't you, that before there was an "ultralight"
category of less than 300kg, there was, and still is, a less than 500kg
category. If someone wanted to set a record in an aircraft, of any weight,
there is now, and has been, a category for it. If the attempt had been made
in 1981, he would have had to compete with aircraft heavier than 300kg,
maybe even a prop driven BD5. The FAI certainly DID accept records from
lightweight aircraft prior to 1984. When you attempt a record in a weight
class, if your performance is good enough, you may saction and claim records
for weight classes above yours. For instance, I hold a World Class record in
Airplanes, propellor driven, 1000kg to 1500kg, or "C1-c". I also hold the
"C1, group 1" record for propellor driven aircraft regardless of weight. Now
Clay Lacy could probably dig out his DC6 or P51, and take the record away,
but in 27 years no one has done it. Zoom, could have claimed his record in
the same way. In fact, since it is an un-official, un-recorded, record, how
do you, or anyone else, know that someone else hasn't done the same thing,
better?

Al, sonny, Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was
submitted.

Sonny? Jeez Louise, how old a do you think you are?
