RE: the use of telemetry and artificial flight stabilization in pattern
Telemetry in regard to distance, attitude, altitude and aptitude(any auto correcting) must continue to be disallowed in Pattern (for both the pilot and the judges).
I am in favor of telemetry in regard to passive monitoring that alerts the pilot of unsafe conditions such as airborne voltage, but only for the RX, not the model's power supply. Also in favor of passive monitoring of servo current draw
For me personally, if a guy were to cheat with auto correcting to a win, what has he won? On the other hand we shouldn't be blind to the fact that personal agendas exist. I know some who have been victimized by that. Unfortunately pattern isn't as pure as, say, Pro Golf.
