I was going to not chime in but this is getting way out of control. We have a system that is working great and growing. Putting a bunch of extra rules in is going to start killing our participation. This is a dam stand off scale rc toy adult planes that we race for the fun of it and get some of us away from the real life out there. As the CD of most of the races, I do not want to start adding in a bunch of rules that will piss people off like the SWRA did!!!!!!!!
Sorry for getting pissed off but a group of us have been working our asses off to make these race run smooth and do everything we can to make it keep growing. Hell we must be doing something right as the Warbird Racing is going to have Nats with SAMs rules with some changes. Adding in a bunch of rules and lots of extra things to do such as templates is going to cause way to much work for the CDs. There is so much stuff we have to do already to get a race to a successful start and have a complete successful race overall.
The SAM CD's will look at the plane and let the pilot know if there is a problem.
Thanks and have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
