Poland - Electric.

 Bill  
In my book he has earned the right. His reputation can stand the risk, if that's what is at stake. He's highly capable of this decision. Somebody had to walk on the moon first didn't they?

I have to concur with Ron.  If Jason does not do well at the Worlds it will weigh heavily on his reputation; be scared he might.  If he does well ……….. it may boost electric airplanes as a viable platform for competition.   
  
He certainly is taking a risk.

Here goes. If you are selected to represent your country flying one type of plane and power plant, is it kosher to switch to a new design or radically different power source, such as electric?
  

My opinion - NO.   

It wouldn't bother me so much if he wasn't doing it for (his) business reasons.  He'd better do very well or he will be second guessed forever.

Just heard from my spy in Poland.     Jason Shulman arrived with an electric pattern plane.
  
42 volt motor, 60 amps.  Flying weight of plane is 10.75 pounds.    Prop might be a 20x17.
  
Very impressive and very quiet.    I don't know if his other plane is glow or electric.
