I can't see any way that rule could be interpreted to allow the use of a Treger hub. It specifically excludes commercially available propellers for indoor duration models. I think it would be hard to argue that a VP hub wouldn't fall into that category even if it's not a complete propeller. If I was a CD and someone used a Treger hub, I would disqualify them.

Builder of Model: The CD shall make every reasonable effort to assure himself that each flier has completely "constructed&#8223; the model(s) he uses in competition, including the covering where used, with "constructed" to be interpreted as the action required to complete a model starting with no more prefabrication than the amount used in the average kit. Models which are completely prefabricated and require only a few minutes of unskilled effort for their completion shall be excluded from competition. In the case of rubber-powered models (excluding Indoor duration models), commercially available balsa, plastic, and hardwood propellers may be used. Materials and design may be obtained from any source, including kits. The builder-of-the-model rule applies to every AMA event unless specifically noted otherwise in the rules governing that event.
