That is interesting news. Perhaps it will/would only
affect a small number of pilots, but would it not be
nice to be informed about the proposal and have an
opportunity to comment ? Where are our representatives
on this ?

Cameras and barographs may be awkward and unfashionable,
but so are Ka-8s and 1-26s. Should we expect to see
some future Sporting Code that allows only glass/carbon
better than 40:1 for Silver badge attempts ? It might
even be a 'safety enhancement'. And it would certainly
reduce the number of impecunious upstarts who presume
to try to take part in the sport.

Open fire !
