I have admired Ian Kaynes for many years as a top class aeromodeller and as a diligent administrator and I am proud to see GBR after his name. I am therefore shattered and completely bewildered by his recommendation that the people running the World Championship should allow competitors to ignore a long standing rule that is very properly in the rule book.

I cannot understand this logic at all. I do hope we will protect BOM rules for the next WC.

>While the VP is an important part of the model in case the available height of the site is limited, a purchased VP is not in RTF state. The usage of such VP needs expertise, measurements and test flights to harmonize its setting with the size and setting of the prop and the rest of the model, rubber, available height and actual conditions in the site. Therefore, the jury agrees to continue the practice applied at several previous championships, i. e. not banning the usage of purchased VP hubs."
