h3. Reason

The reason for the proposed amendment is that the distance is mandatory because it promote small canopy and huge engines, and that means “normal” pilots are obviously excluded of this activity. 
Most of pilots are flying on 20 or 22 square meters. It is also a question of regulation; it is pushing pilots not respecting wings features of makers.
In a short summary: 
*Sporting arguments* > with a limited gate distance, we favor the piloting rather than the pure speed.
