Your point of view seems to imply that we should be closing down club flying sites that are unable to meet the specific wording of Rule #9. I am sure that will sing well in the halls of the clubs who are unable to find better flying sites - NOT-! I guess the other way to look at your latest post is to simoly outlaw hovering.
Not even close on either count.
My point is rather simple ... given all of the complaints that have been made recently about unintended side effects of the way that rules are worded, anyone who seeks to "correct" the wording should ensure that they are not committing the exact same mistakes as those who wrote the rule up in the first place.
If you're gonna reword the rules, make sure the new version is in fact better.
