Hmm. What would stink is if I setup a bird to fly with a piped 61 with the hopes that “they” waive the restriction, drive 10hrs to a contest only to be told, “sorry no pipes allowed”. I understand the cost issue but I guarantee you most of the folks flying pattern aren’t flying inexpensive equipment.
