reality of the motivations and the rationale I have to restate my opinion
earlier: If we field a US team, lead by a US team manager, then let's let the
team discuss and determine how best to win. This issue should have been
discussed and approved by the team manager. The relevant info for us is:
did the leadership of the team follow an informed and logical process.
If so, then I can support it. If not, then let's keep that in mind when
putting the next set of leaders in nplace<BR>><BR><BR>First, I know that
Tony Stillman was unhappy that Jason chose to switch <BR>to an electric
airplane after the F3A Team Selection Finals. It was <BR>not a
question of failure of team leadership. The Team manager cannot <BR>tell
team members what to do/not to do. Second, there was no informed <BR>and
logical process conducted because, in the absence of rules governing <BR>team
member actions, a team member could ignore the process if it was
<BR>contrary to what he wanted to do. Third, we do not select the F3A
Team <BR>Manager; the Team Manager is selected by ALL of the participants in
the <BR>Team Selection program.<BR><BR>Ron Van
