CDing a first contest

[Larry Diamond]

Three open AMA members will need to sign that you have experience as an
event official (they don't need to be CDs), this is from the CD application.
You will also need to take an open book test and take as much time as you
need in the comfort of your own home.

 

I gained the experience in my club for coordinating a non-sanctioned fun-fly
contest. CDing a contest is great fun, and you will not be alone.people that
attend your contest will probably help as needed. The NSRCA Web-site has
good info on preparing and running a contest.

 

I attended 10 contests before applying for CD (three I didn't fly in, and
seven I did) during my first year. Ask allot of question and learn a good
and bad things at a contest. You can then put your ideas to work for a
successful contest. Highly recommend this approach.

See the AMA site for a CD application.  You must be an AMA member for three
years before applying.  Then you need three CDs to sign it as references.
You'll have no problem finding folks to sign off for you.  Also, there is an
open book test that must be completed.  It's not hard.  It's point is to
force you to become familiar with all the rule books.

 Forgive my ignorance, but what does it take to become a CD. If it's within
my means I am not adverse to doing just that to help the hobby grow. Without
getting fresh blood involved in any aspect of RC there can be no future.

Pete,

 

Do what I did, become a CD and put on your own contest.  I will CD or CO-CD
three this year.  It is scary at first but after you do it, you find that it
was no big deal.  I have been a CD for 8 years now and I am having fun.  So
if you can't find a contest close, make one!!

 

See ya,

Bruce
