from what I heard on rcheliaddicts (source: a British representative on the F3C committee), the current F3N draft still says "forbidden". But since it's still a non-official "add-on" program, most tournament organizers say, we fly according to F3N draft rules with some changes. Such as allowing flybarless.
I expect / hope that the restriction will go. Otherwise, it would be really braindead, stifle innovation to stone age technology. Yes I never liked flybars
