Proposal from
Leah Catullo, USA Delegate
Proposal title
Wing Loading Limtiation
Existing text
None
New text
Limit wing loading in two categories of beginner and expert
Reason
To improve safety and accessability of current and future competitiors. The current slalom environment continues to decrease wing sizes, increasing the speed and risk profile to pilots, while creating barriers to new pilots interested in entering slalom competition. Wing loading limitations will effectively determine that competition results are dependent on pilot skill rather than speeds attained from loading and motor thrust.
