Horrace,
I said basically the same thing since this rule # 9 was initiated. I ended up being the poster child whipping boy when I said this in the 3D forum....Most of them had the attitude that they were going to do what they pleased, when they pleased. As a former club officer (president and v/president) I'm fully aware of liabilty issues. If I were an officer now, I would ground the repeat safety violators and would not let them fly again until we reached an "understanding". In today's world full of litigation you just can't chance it!!! Some, in this regard, just don't get it!!!
