Been waiting for that particular update since Kickoff. Still waiting for some missing [non-critical] dimensions. Not impressed with the quality of the field drawings this year, not surprised since it's the most complicated field I've ever seen. Sympathy for the GDC engineers working on it.

But as soon as the PILOT starts another rotor with that gear, it's locked down... so why bother spending time turning the rotor and risking an out-of-order-rotors penalty if you go too far, if you'll still need to pull a gear off the lift to complete it later?

Folks are overthinking the gears rules.
