Why do you say this proposal only affects junior class fliers?

It looks like he simply added the words "and a possible national record as
well" without fixing the rest of the proposal. His examples are already
specifically disallowed by section 10 of the outdoor free flight rule book,
and his proposed revision has no affect on contest results anyways. This
means he doesn't understand the revision he's proposed, he doesn't know the
outdoor free flight rules, or he's worded the proposal in an intentionally
deceiving way.

In any case we should be pointing this out to all the other contest board
members and voting against this proposal. We should also emphasize that
this will generally only affect junior age fliers, and it seems unwise to
pass rules that could potentially discourage them from competing.
