Pilots- I agree with a skeg device to control the stopping point of an AMA , TD plane. Seems landings are what most contest are about anyway. And when called upon to land downwind, or on wet ground, severe down hill slopes , or a well trampled landing circle, I think skegs make landing more predictable and in some cases, safer.
The problem with a long drawn out skeg rule is its cumbersome. Kinda like, I want a wristwatch but Im told about all the parts of the watch and its design history before I buy it. way boring!! Could you imagine the length of a rule and actual field procedures that would "protect" us against a 200 to 300 meter winch line launching a plane? Please dont go there !! Therefore I would decline to agree with the wordy proposal. Keep it simple and they will come!!!
