Since when has purchasing a VP become commonplace? Is this common in the us
or the European circles? I think that there is a difference between buying a
Harlan bearing and an entire VP hub.

This raises the question, how enforceable is the b.o.m. rule for F1D?

Don,

as a flier for outdoor classes without BOM rule (F1A, F1B and F1H), I
must say that your logic seriously fails here. Passing a plane around
has NEVER been allowed in the rules, ever since BOM rule was lifted. In
cnampionships, each model is registered and labeled to be used by that
one pilot, in lesser contests like world cups and national contests,
such procedures are not followed, but that does not change the fact that
the rule still stands (one model must be used by one contestant only),
and doing otherwise _is_ breaking the rules.

I also agree with Don D. that outdoor and indoor are two totally
different beasts, and therefore I am against BOM in outdoor, and for it
in indoor.

Talking of stretching the rules, when shall we ban the use of non-BOM VP
mechanisms in F1D? As prop is so important part of the indoot model, I
think using a bought mechanisms is quite seriously against the spirit of
BOM rule, yet it has been allowed for years...
