SNIP to have it have absolutely no affect on the competition

Do you believe that about any new technology? So the RC should make the Ventus 3 and JS-1 illegal, for example? What is it about this new technology that makes you separate it, in your mind, from any others that have gone before and will come? A new sailplane with an improved polar is a measurable - not just theoretical - advantage. One thing that never changes about mechanized competition, is that it always changes. In this case, ADS-B is going to guarantee it will change.
