Default RE: True or False

I like the idea of changing the rules to the non-opaque canopy. If you've noticed, the hobby hoarders out there have really taken advantage of this rule. A good 40% pilot costs about $200. Look at the helmet heads? $200+. Sure, there are some $69 ones out there but they're pretty much crap. Hell, Mattel can make a Barbie, with hair, toe nails, fingers and just about everything else you can imagine and sell the thing for $15.00. There are a few companies that have just totally abused this rule knowing what the IMAC requirements are. If the rule change doesn't pass, it's not becuase, "us", the IMAC contestants didn't want it. It's because some of these pilot producing outfits don't want the change. You can always put a pilot in if "you" like the idea.
