[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[Jerry Stebbins]

How about a going in handicap based on your last contest results. That would normalize everybody and then any controversy on judging would be killed by " just a bad handicap-fix it next time" response.

  What about guys that just can't fly as well as others in their class?

I totally agree.  However, there should be similar adjustments for  
those who live/fly where it gets very hot.  There should also be age  
and pilot height adjustments for those who can't see as well, either  
because their eyes are weaker, or the fact that shorter pilots must  
look up further to see their airplanes.  I just want to be fair too.
