C'mon you Luddite! Why have a limit on engine run? This is not you granddad's soaring anymore. In fact, we should encourage the use of propulsion technology by mandating Front Electric Sustainer technology for all competitions at the National level. It's obviously all for SAFETY!

I also take great offense to the idea that the Luddites in the "peanut gallery", who should, after all, be keeping their little inconsequential mouths shut while the big boys are talking, might object to one of the most demonstrably enabling technologies of all time: performance enhancing drugs. Such pharmacological tech has proven time and again to be extremely effective at proving performance in conditions of high physical and mental stress. And now, the development of "nootropic" drugs offer a way to improve soaring safety dramatically through enhanced mental function in the cockpit. It would be little short of criminal to deny pilots such safety enhancing technology. Think of the liability issues if contest organizers elect to deny pilots this one chance at survival. Only those Luddite morons on the RC, oh, and the peanut gallery, would condone limiting this technology.
