It's just a rumour Peter T. I spoke with the MAAQ CFI this evening and he and the MAAQ Secretary know nothing of it. The only request is that an instructor be of gold wings standard.
It could be just someone's thoughts that this would be a better way of reducing the risk of an insurance claim, as if this rumour were to become a ruling, many clubs and members would simply stop training beginners because of possible out-of-pocket expenses.
Imagine a debate in court because someone in the pits recommended that someone else's model is safe to fly, unless the ruling only applies if a buddy lead (or a wireless one) is connected.
In theory, any crash would be the instructor's crash, as he should have taken over several seconds before impact.

Everyone knows that REAL ENGINES are used by REAL men. Eklectic motors are best left for use in toothbrushes and other unnecessary things.
