How do they catagorize warbirds for judging at events such has EAA?
Are a/c that are new builds/recreations such has the Flugwerks Fw's, 262s,
F3Fs and the the expecially the new built P-51 judged against actual restoriations????
Was/would Jerry Beck's P-51A recreation in the same catagory has say B-25J How Boot That? Or Jack Rousch's B recreation face off against the Happy Jack's Go Buggy which is a restoration of a actual plane?? Or are there different judging classes.
Not out to start a flame war just really curious because I got a email from Mike VBC after telling him to clear a spot on the wall for his trophy and he replied that going against the Rousch and Sessions Bs leaves them little chance of winning. My first thought is well that sucks because it's comparing apples and oranges!!!

Everything that you wanted to know about judging can be found in this manual:

Reproduction Warbird:
Aircraft built to resemble a Warbird. These aircraft are of the same scale and construction technique as the original. These aircraft are structurally and
aerodynamically identical to the original version.

Are the Rousch and Sessions P-51Bs considered reproduction warbirds?
