Andy,

The rule as discussed is to address proof of the mode the unit was
operating in during the flight. It must be in Competition mode so as
to not provide an unfair advantage to the pilot.

John Good made a presentation at the New Castle regionals (US reg 4 S)
that was quite comprehensive. I hope that he can make the entire
pitch public so everybody will understand the capabilities of the
Powerflarm.
