What really bites is if they do enforce the 400' limit how we going to fly our scale ships. I myself have a 4.5m Discus, 5.3m DG 1000, and a RnR SB-XC. imagine winching off at 399' and stay at or below the 400' level for an hour flight. I tried th launch and kick off about 400' I had trouble trying to find any lift at that hight. Let alone stay up longer than 3min. There must be Scale Sailplane Pilots out there with enough connections to help enlighten the FAA, and make it possible to have a club site listed and approved for higher altitudes. As I do not know how to go about this I'm sure someone does whether he wants to get involved or not hes out there somewhere.
I for one do not want to be limited to 400' -- Ken York County Soaring "Lighthorse" Team YCS Silence is Golden RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
