True Kang, and yet you are the World Champion.

My point is this. Y2K2, great rubber, and great wood all offer advantages
if used correctly. I think rubber is the greatest barrier in our hobby. The
difference between two different 5/99 motors at West Baden this year was a
28 minute flight and a 35 minute flight. The motors were the same size, but
from deferent previous owners. Nothing else on the model was changed. I
feel like we are discussing the mouse and ignoring the elephant in the
room.

Thus in the interest of fairness, what if at each contest we order a large
box of new rubber, and required everyone to fly on it? Yes, I am actually
being completely serious.

P.S. In my open letter to the CIAM I suggested banning Y2K2 rather than
chaining the model specifications. I think it is one of many advantages
allowed in the rules.
