I felt that this statement was refering to the fact that I stated that you should learn how to carve props. My bad I guess I read it wrong.

Secondly, I never stated that Chicago was a Hot-bed for FORM ONE. I simply was stating that I lived in Chicago.

Predicting the future is a bad thing. I don't care what anyone says you cannot predict what will happen if the prop technology changes. Everything is cause and effect. With different props comes different engines, different airplanes and so on. So in our effort to make the event more competitive we will make equipment obsolete. So we saved $25 on a prop but spent thousands trying to make it work.

I am not in favor of new props. I have no problem with people running different props at there local contests due to elevation or humidity or competitiveness. That is your deal. We need to have rules and guidlines in place in which we abide by at a national level. We can't just change the rules because someone didn't win or because someone isn't competitive. Those are bad reasons in my opinion. Everyone follows the same guidlines as everyone else.

IF not allowing different props is the demise of QM40 so be it. We will re-invent the wheel once again, and in 3 years from that point we will be discussing that people are not competitive and this cycle will start over again.
