In my 30 + years of
flying, we have another stupid rule to benefit the people who do not
have a HLG as their backup that is as good as their primary.To
not be able to switch planes??? Who check everyobody at all the
contests! It is even more ridiculous when people do no realize
that the pilot has to take extra time to get a new plane according to
other rules for replacement and loose time overall.
Nobody can keep
things simple or open to encourage design. Now people have to try
to get around how bad they fly, compared to other flyers, by using rules
to make up for inadequacies. Reminds me of the F3B days when
gorilla winches were disallowed because they were to dangerous.
Nowadays we see the same winces, only more powerful, being used.
DUHHH!
This also brings up
the missing rule for the pilot or timer that gets hit during a
launch. The offender gets punished, but why must the
offenDed? They are rolling on the ground in pain, their plane
perhaps crashing because they cannot fly it, yet they can't refly a
round because they can't be mixed back into the frequency
roataion. Another missing issue. Next time when your
losing, why not take out an opponent?
It's nice to know
the TPG have their act together regarding HLG and to know the AMA still
remains in the Dark Ages of progress.
Flame on.
