[NSRCA-discussion] Sportsman supplemental rules?

[Terry Terrenoire]

Bob: It would be best to contct the CD of the contest you are planning to
attend. I am not aware of any "supplemental" rules, but all cDs have the
authority to "modify" requirements if they make it known in advance. Over
time CDs have just allowed the loosening of the rules for the Sportsman
class.

In looking at the pattern rules posted on the AMA website, I can't find
the "supplemental" rules regarding the Sportsman class. Specifically, I'm
looking for the rule regarding the relaxed aircraft requirements for the
Sportsman class. In the past, a Sportsman flyer was allowed to fly any
AMA legal airplane and was not limited to the size or weight restriction
of the other classes. The Radio Controlled Aerobatics PDF file on the AMA
website makes reference to page 2 of the supplemental rules, but I can't
seem to find that document anywhere.

My son is presently flying an IMAC class 45cc gasser that weighs just
under 14 lbs, and would like to enter it in some local pattern contests
as well. I want to verify this is legal before we go to a contest and
have somebody question the rules allowing it.
