I am 100% in agreement with you - BAN purchased vp hubs in Euro and WC competitions!!!
Please keep me updated and let me know what I can due.
Thank you,James

I took a close look at the F1D models that flew during the six rounds of the WC at West Baden. Out of the 46 competitors entered, seven (15%) flew exclusively with non-purchased vp hubs or with a fixed pitch hub. The remaining 39 (85%) used a purchased vp hub for at least one round.
That is a saddening statistic. I have always thought that BOM rule should be interpreted so that the single most important component of an indoor model, the VP hub, should also be built by the flier. Or using a bought hub is against the spirit of the BOM rule.
Having said that, I was pleased to find out that a rules interpretation that would have obsoleted the majority of hubs (and thus models) was not made a few weeks before the World Champs. That was a sport decision to make. NOW that the Champs are past and there is over a year to the next Euro Champs, and two years to the next WC, would be a good time to raise the issue again.
My suggestion is to make a rules change proposal to the next CIAM meeting (coming next month I think?), that the F1D (and other indoor duration) class rules are changed to explicitly ban the use of bought VP mechanisms. Any takers?
