A Home Run statement.
If the pattern community namely the NSRCA doesn't explore other options to consider putting on the table the membership will continue in the down wind cycle. If it takes Foam ARF's with AS3X or gyros I'm all for it if it will help resurrect the sport. What difference would it make if any or ALL were allowed to use flight assisted devices. It's entirely up to the pilot to activate the system. If the entire community was allowed to them the best and better pilots would still prevail.
