Re: Checking out radio during competition

It sounds like we just need some consistency in rulings here; as I noted in my second post above, I asked the IFI rep if we could try it out during lunch before the eliminations started and was told no. Sounds like the answer can be "yes" sometimes. I'm going to propose some things to IFI/GDC for next year.

As to IFI's response about having time to change out components while on the field, I agree a modem or cable can be changed (if you have a spare modem), but if it's your RC then good luck - and you won't know until you're on the field and you've changed everything else out. Thankfully we had labeled all of our PWM cables or it would have been a nightmare.
