Poland - electric

[Del Rykert]

Sponsored pilots have always spread controversy. If for no other reason that others are jealous and some do perceive an advantage given to sponsored competitors that aren't extended to the masses. I always accepted that was part of the cutting edge technology that pattern promotes.

  If there isn't a rule, there isn't a rule.

  The AMA could make a new rule if enough people want it to
  that FAI contestants must stick to the type of equipment
  they qualified with.  But as things stand now, my opinion
  (for what it's worth) is that the guys are free to compete
  with whatever they judge is best.

  I doubt very much that Jason wants to lose.  He's a
  competitor, isn't he?  Even if he has some additional
  motive because of business arrangements, it's still a
  motive to win, not lose.  The better he does with electric,
  the better it is for his business.

  If we want to make a rule that no one with a business interest
  can participate, then we'd better start at the top with
  Dave Brown and Tony Stillman.
