[NSRCA-discussion] Sportsman supplemental rules?

[Gray E Fowler]

Wow!  I find it hard to believe that someone would own and fly a plane 
that they in essence cannot land.  That is a beginners mistake and I see 
it alot at my club, and we call it  "Too much plane for the pilot". 
Usually this happens with a persons second airplane of his RC career, not 
someone at a competition. We all bung a landing now and then ( as if 
evident for the constant need of replacement chin cowls) , but I have to 
seriously question that if at a contest a pilot cannot land a plane they 
brought, should it be allowed?  If it is too much plane for the pilot, the 
pilot need to step down his plane or learn to land it in PRACTICE, before 
his thumbs are shakin' at a contest.

I will once again cast another vote to score T/O and Landings knowing the 
odds are in my favor that "others" will not a second time sneek around the 
majority to enact personal agendas-but thats a differnet topic......

When flying RC planes of ANY type there are only two required 
manuevers...T/O and then Landing.
