If you live by contests and rules, you will die by contests and rules. If you don�t like rules, because you can�t win by them or feel that they discriminate against you, join the growing "non contest" events like Scale aerotowing, or try scale xcountry where you fly against the odometer, a personal goal, or even another pilot in a milieu where thermaling ability and true flying skills outweigh pop offs, landing, and launching technique.

And it makes sense that rules cannot be overruled by common sense or consideration for everyone's fun as a consideration... If the rules get changed to consider 'fun' chaos would reign and the general pilot group would be delayed from getting home or another round being flown. � RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
