Richard Spurling | 4.2.2.h - line length20.08.2002 - 03:00:22
Why is there a minimum line length (15m/ 49 ft)?

I can see all sorts of problems with flying on such short lines but isn't that the pilot's choice?
If it is simply to allow organisers to build circles as donuts, wouldn't it be fairer to allow users of short lines to step out of the c

This is a very valid point and me too, I don't see why minimum lenght should be defined.26

I feel that with a minimum line length, we may restrict possible models. Already we're having throttles, flaps, cutouts and a wealth of other 'innovations' pushed onto us, yet we restrict the line length. A maximum restriction is good - there has to be some outer limit.
But let's imagine someo

I agree with Richard.
The use of donut circles is the main reason for having a lot of dirt or grit on the tarmac/concrete. Therefore we should not allow the use of these very imperfect sites for Championships anymore.
Which in itself will lead to the possibility to use any lenght of lines.
