One concern I have about this catagory is would it then absolve judges

from

considering an auto conversion in judging for Grand Champion or other

awards

with "conventional" aircraft. There are those who "have issues" with
conversions and would consider them a safety issue and therefore not
qualified to compete against a purebred.
I'd prefer not to see conversions get segregated at shows. If anything

we are

doing more to embody the spirit of experimental aviation than the quick

build

exactly to plans route that is so common today. There is nothing wrong

with

the simplified kit planes; everyone has their own comfort level and
abilities.
Just my 2 cents.

Well, at a penny for my thoughts, you would probably feel ripped off - but
here goes
anyway. Trophies are cheap! and if you have enough attendance, I think you
should
have as many categories that you can have eough planes in for it to be a
contest.
People like to get rewards, everyone needs a pat on the back once in a
while,
and happy people come back to your flyin next time. Things like auto
conversions,
plans built versus kits, glass versus metal - split them up if you have
enough
