If it was as you wanted it then the rules would be completely out of touch with every level of the hobby, and would alienate entire continents.
At the grass roots level the racers dictate the classes to the club, the clubs advise the national body (roar for you guys),and IFMAR correlate it altogether to work at an international level.
It makes sense that all the early adoption gets done at the grass roots level, That feedback from this has a great weight on national guidelines, and that these may or may not eventually be adopted by IFMAR.
if adoption really started at the grass roots level, we would not see how long it takes for equipment to be "ROAR legal" for sanctioned events.
how long did it take for Lipo to get approved?
Which major manufactures finally pushed(paid) to have brushless legalized for events?
