I think Art's suggestions are very good and you should consider them seriously. Although you may not be aware of problems, they exist! I see MANY discussions about what is or isn't legal, especially around ground effects and aerodynamics, and many people involved in those discussions state that they wish the written rules were more clear. I think Art is simply suggesting that you have rules that are very easily measured and take this opportunity to avoid problems.
