[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposals

[James Oddino]

Who wrote the words and what was their intention?  I guarantee it doesn't do what they intended because it doesn't apply to electric powered aircraft that don't have engines.

I would interpret it to mean something like control line engines that automatically change mixture setting from horizontal to vertical flight.

I've said it before.  We don't need more rules and regulations, we need fewer.
