Rule change proposal

[MargueriteVG at aol.com]

Hi
I had to respond to this email comment posted on our list.  I recently had a 
conversation just about this topic.  When I first started flying pattern there 
were several pilots from our club flying together. 
At one event my engine flamed out and we could not fix it. A group of us were 
very close in the numbers for a win.
 One of the pilots gave me his plane to fly. I certainly did not want to but 
I did. Turned out I did win with his plane. He was laughing and complaining 
about that for years. 

He was hobby shop owner and just didn't get out to practice like he wanted to.
I would not borrow a plane in a contest today! I did not know then how many 
things can go wrong when you just do not expect it. 

 IF I do fly another pilots plane on the field I know I would be responsible 
if something happened to it. I have flown other planes but not at a contest. 
There is just to much going on and keeping a check on everything is just to 
much stress.
