John,
You mentioned that “FAI should have taken action years ago.” FAI doesn’t “take action” and make the rules - you do. The process is that when you realize a rule needs to be added or amended, you make a proposal to add/change/delete it. When you say “something should have been done,” what exactly do you have in mind? Have you developed a solution to the problem and what exactly do you propose? Have you vetted your idea with the other indoor flyers (both in the US and internationally)? Have you written a formal rule change proposal? I’m afraid that “they should have done something” with no action or solution offered isn’t very useful.

My support is with Tim Stone on this matter. The Tan 5/99 business is a scandal (I chose the word carefully). The FAI should have taken action years ago when it was first realized that some batches of rubber had accidentally been produced with much higher energy content than usual. In most rubber model competition rules the maximum weight of rubber is stipulated and very carefully checked, one would assume with the intention that all competitors had similar energy available. When it was realized that that was not the case something should have been done.

This is an example of exactly what is wrong with indoor. There are scarce supplies of rubber & good indoor wood, snatched up
by wealthy insiders at ridiculous prices & hoarded for nobodys' good but them. Screw you, I GOT IT YOU DONT!
I for one am sick of seeing all these record postings listing "5/99" rubber. I am stuck with shit that is nowhere near as good, at best.
Yes I realize you need to know how to use it. Go ahead & tell me how todays' rubber is just as good & how you picked up 4# contest
wood at hobby lobby this weekend. BS!

I have listed the 5/99 Tan II on eBay at slightly less than $1 per gram.
If anyone wants to make an offer on the other rubber, let me know.
Thanks,
Lauren
