Seems to me that the judges' informed opinion was that Jason
was a world-class pilot.

If the judges are supposed to judge equipment--or if competitors
are supposed to be bound to fly in the worlds what they brought
to the trials--then that should be stated explicitly.

Rules define obligations.

Jason did something you didn't _expect_ him to do.

How many rules do you want to make up so that no one else
ever surprises you?  Do people have to keep the same airframe?
Engine make?  Displacement?  Fuel?  Radio type?  Servos?

I'd rather say that Jason won the right to do what he thinks
is best.  He knows how to compete.

Just my opinion.  YMMV.
