Ko o čemu, baba o uštipcima. Ja opet o F5J. Malo sam čeprkao po internetu, i gledao šta i kako to rade knzervativni Englezi. Toliko su konzervativni da iamaju preko 500 takmičara u F5J po njihovim pravilima, a hvala Bogu pravila su po meni bolja od onih po FAI.
Ali evo gledajte i sami:

7.12 eSoaring (Height Limited Rules) Class.
----------------------------------------------------------

--------------
Appendix - Approved Height Limiter Switches
In order to gain approval, any height limiting switch must demonstrate that it will consistently enable an electric glider, when operated within the rules of the competition, to finish it’s launch phase at an ISA 15C pressure indicated altitude of 200 meters or after 30 seconds (40 seconds for 2M Class models) of motor run time, whichever occurs first. This requirement must be met whether or not the unit incorporates an ‘anti-zooming’ feature.
As of January 2012 the following devices are approved.
Manufacturer RC Electronics
Part Number: RC Altimeter #2 BASIC (with firmware version 2.08 or 2.12 (or later approved versions)).
Manufacturer RC Electronics
Part Number: RC Altimeter #2 PRO (with firmware version 2.08 or 2.12 (or later approved versions)).
Manufacturer RC Electronics
Part Number: RC Altimeter #3 PRO (with firmware version 3.05 (or later approved versions)).
Manufacturer RC Electronics
Part Number: RC Electronics HLS (with firmware version 1.00 or later approved versions)
Web address for RC Electronics is:
www.rc-electronics.orgNote the difference between these two units is that the PRO version can also provide a telemetry link. The functionality of the unit in terms of height data logging and altitude switching is exactly the same as the BASIC unit.
At least three alternative devices are known to be in development and, once they are commercially available and have gained approval, they too will be listed for use in these events.
Ovo je samo isečak iz propisa koji se odnosi na ograničavač visine.
Ostalo nisam navodio izuzev što ću navesti da oni imaju klasu F5J Open što se odnosi na modele jedrilica do 4m raspona maksimalno, i F5J 2m što se odnosi na modele raspona krila do 2m maksimalno, i
mislim da je takva podela mnogo normalnija nego ona na F5J i F5J-400. Po meni F5J-400 je dekadentna varijanta koja ne uvažava napredak tehnologije jer favorizuje prevaziđene elektro motore
sa četkicama, i NiCd/NiMh baterije.
