[NSRCA-discussion] Question.

[verne at twmi.rr.com]

The voltage was checked at the World's before every flight in Portugal and Argentina. My understanding is that the voltage limit is a safety issue. As I understand it, anything over 42.56 has the potential for causing serious injury to humans. Someone else probably knows what that is. I don't remember. My recollection is that voltage was only checked during weigh-in at the Nats, but I could be wrong.

4. Model Aircraft Requirements: 
4.1: Propulsion source limitations: Electrically-powered model aircraft are limited to a maximum of 42.56 volts for the propulsion circuit, measured prior to flight while the competitor is in the ready box. 
 
I see Electrics have a "Displacement" limit, why are they limited and the IC engines not?
 
I also see they must be checked in the ready box prior to each flight, anyone ever have this check done? Even at the worlds?
 
Or is this another ignored rule?
