By allowing multiple models not only are you causing an increase in cost
to fly the event and be competitive, you are also lessening pilot skill

ones skills. Anybody can improve there chances with a model for every
condition.
I am disappointed that you as a CD of a major event such as the Nats
can't see this.

Jeff,
You obviously did not read my earlier post. I have very specific reasons
why I feel that HL should be allowed to change ships versus the other
classes which in my opinion should not be allowed to change ships at will.
HL ships are small and work at the lower end of the reynolds numbers of our
sailplanes, when you are flying unlimited ships this is not such and issue.
They also are not very accomodating of balast in any practical form, let me
tell you I have tried and usually only tore things up, from two meter on up
ballasting is not near the practical issue. Because of these two items I
feel that HL sailplanes should be allowed to change for conditions. Ya, a
guy can have a bucket load of them, but you still have to get them flown,
launched, and read the conditions to make it all come together. And just
for the record, all other major HL events do allow switching of models to
the best of my knowledge, not that that in itself is a reason, but
convention does count for something.
