[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

Jim,

There is a penalty for building your own plane from scratch because it will
fly better than everyone else's and it cost a lot less. It's 5oclock
somewhere.

Being a fair weather flier living in snow country with multiple physical and
questionable mental disorders I certainly could use some help. Sounds like a
refined handicap system could result in everyone getting 1000 normalized
points leaving only judging discrepancies to separate contestants.
Interesting. If we just use performance projection based on historical
averages we could just award the placement trophies without having to judge.
Is it Bud time yet.

You were kidding?   I wasn't kidding about getting special scoring
bonuses for age and (lack of) height.  Or was I?    Ron VP    On Apr 30,
