US Rules Committee to ban XC Soar in US soaring competitioneffective immediately? - Ahh the "genius!"
Keep telling yourself that Evan.
I personally have no passion at all about this. I find it sad. But I will stand up for the counterpoint that it somehow makes sense to go on a crusade to make any software or device with a gyro illegal moving forward. I can afford to buy a new PDA & pay $300 for new PDA software if I must. Many other can not or will not, based on the dumbness of all of this in general.
I am concerned about the many new pilots in my region who bought new PDA's & spent days wiring up their comm boards, etc to use this software. They have now wasted their time and money while you try and Mafia Strong Arm XC Soar developers into modifying their code by threatening them (and then denying it).
To alot of guys that investment in time and money was significant. And for what? Is this rule that important? I can hear the people logging into OLC as we speak...
You guys are really lost here. Its sad to watch. Stop trying to over regulate the sport like this. Let go of this rule. There are about 10 guys (at the top of the sport) who agree with this rule. The rest could care less..
Is it really worth it?
And I am wondering what back room conversations are being had with the for profit manufacturers upset over XC Soars growth. I wonder...

Evan...I am helping by reporting the madness, trust me.
No, I am making progress. Quietly and with reasoned argument.
Inflaming passions is not helpful, at all.
