[NSRCA-discussion] Alabama Bound

[Ron Van Putte]

What Jon is referring to is my comment that many rule compliance  
checks will NOT be made at the Nats in 2010, but weight checks WILL  
be made of all airplanes before the Nats start as well as random spot  
checks during competition.  Checking for proper aircraft marking, the  
presence of gyros and autopilots, noise, radii of leading edges,  
noise and  proper electric-aircraft battery voltage will not be done  
for all aircraft.  It seems that the planned weight checking efforts  
will be excessive relative to the lack of verification for many rules  
which are also in the rule book.
