This has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I have zero position on this notion.

There are about 10 people who fly indoor in San Diego semi-regularly. 9 of them are beginners. I think this is probably true at many local clubs.

Why can't we do both? I help as many people as I can, but I also think some changes to model specifications can be helpful. No one suggestion will solve the whole problem. Incremental changes over time is how we can make long term improvements.

Bill Gowen and I would like to discuss the merits of adding motor stick bracing to events such as F1L, A6, EZB, Ministick.

Why don't we stay on topic ?
