thinking forward, not backward. my guess is that the rule isn't likely intended to make illegal, a previously approved chassis or scenario. rather it appears to be intended to bring some longevity to existing designs, while integrating in newer li-po technology.
i could be out in left field with this as well, having put little thought into it thus far. and yeah, the mfr's will circumvent this rule with b/s mounting adapters/etc that nobody in their right mind would use, but the rule addendum seems a noble intention on the surface. i guess we'll see where it goes. seems like pretty minor stuff to me.
