Rules Proposals Final Vote

[Bill Glaze]

Dean:
Along with your statement about adventurous CD's--well, we know that 
some experiments are bound to fail.  But, still and all, something is to 
be learned from the failures, also as you have intimated.  Perhaps folks 
can come up with something to coounter the gradually sagging membership 
numbers.  We've got a whole lot of brain power out there.........

Here in D1, more than a decade ago CD Dean Kraus tried a then radical formula: let Novice class flyers fly any AMA-legal plane. It was advertised well in advance, and yielded mixed results. Any resemblance to a recently turned-down proposal  is purely intentional. As it turned out, it was great for participation, but the 110+ dB IMAC ships destroyed any hope of a competitive flight, if you were unfortunate enough to be on the next flightline. Perhaps the ill-fated proposal would have gone through with some size-displacement limit? Both Dean Kraus and Stanley Rauktis were holding contests with free-styles thrown in, during the same era. I am sure they had contemporaries, and now it is part of the landscape of the event.
