[NSRCA-discussion] No telemetry rule & new radio systems

[Bob Richards]

I don't agree with judges having an advantage that the pilot does not have. IOW, if the pilot can't tell he is drifting in/out, but the judges know so only because they have GPS proof, then that is a bad thing, IMHO. This is one reason why the judges have to sit close to where the pilot is standing, so they see what the pilot sees, instead of at the end of the box so they have a boresight view of the slow rolls. 
 
But that brings up a point, the pilot should not have any more information than the judges have, either. If you are getting information via downlink that you would NOT want the judges to know, then maybe you should not be getting that information either.

Just my 2 cents. I think this technology would be best used to eliminate the judges. Take a few (box & center) gps coordinates before the contest and voila a judge who will work all day without lunch or a Bio break. Mike
