[NSRCA-discussion] Electric/IC ...was Arming Plug/Receptacle Problem

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

Well said Bill. I agree, conditions will always change in our sport. Rules will follow. They always have. Some people won't agree with them (as always) but things change, and that's just the way it is.

For me, I don't care one way or the other. Glow or E.. S'all the same to me. Just different takeoff and landing weights. That's the only difference in the two. The way I look at it, I am not flying against a motor setup, but against pilots. Bring your A game, cuz I'm bringing mine..

I would suggest that factoring in the REASON for a rule change, could grossly
change the idea of "ruining" every sport.  Four strikes and you're
out?  Five downs and out?  55 mph for a national speed limit?  I'd suggest
that all rules should be continuously looked at in their context. Whimsical
changes?  No.  favoring somebody or some group?  No.  Rules changed for changing
conditions?  Yes.   Or so I see it.  Maybe I'm just old school. Very, very
old school.<G>

They're the rules.  If I wanted to fly Turbine because I think it's the
best option, should they change the rules to accommodate my choice??  I thought
we MAKE our choice based on how it fits the rules...not the other way around.  
We have always designed our planes to fit the rules, not altered the rules to
fit our planes.  Why does this change suddenly because a new power plant is
getting close to being viable (it's already there)??   Makes no sense.

know what?  We would all change, because we pick our equipment to be
competitive.

the ability to plan.  It limits product selection because manufacturers are even
LESS sure of the market.  Old products are obsoleted that much quicker...etc.
