Quoted from post #161; his defibrillator went off inappropriately due to an atrial arrhythmia. His defibrillator was reprogrammed and he should not have any inappropriate shocks. From a cardiovascular standpoint, Kenneth should be stable to continue both teaching and flying radio-controlled flyers.

That doesn't sound very inconclusive to me!!

Doesn't sound inconclusive to me either.

Oddly, the club president said it it wasn't safety issues, but he didn't say what the real issues are. Also quoting from post #161: "....in lieu of the safety factors involved we have no choice." Don't you wonder what instead of safety concerns the BOD had on their minds? Was he saying "we can't restrict your freedom for safety reasons, but we have no other choice so our decision is arbitrary?"

And the BOD thought the MD's letter was ambiguous!
