[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposals

[Keith Hoard]

As long as the only input is from the radio's throttle channel, you're OK.

No!!!  What the hell is the intent?  It is like the Congress.  The reason
they have to pass the bill before they know what is in it, is the fact the
actual language is written after it becomes law.  This one sounds like it
will cause many, many unintended consequences.

Good catch Jim.  The way it is worded, it specifically would exclude motors!

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.

Quick question on the "functions not allowed" section of RCA13-4-McHarg:

9. Engine management systems that coordinate power output with model
performance, position, or
attitude.”

Does that make systems such as the Hacker Senestrol system which ensures a
consistent RPM based on throttle position illegal?  I know they were
specifically designed for F3A use in Europe and have been popular...

Attached is a summery of the RC Aerobatics rules change proposals for the
2013-14 cycle. I put this together for a presentation at our judging seminar
yesterday.

The actual proposals can be viewed at
http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/ruleproposals/rcaerobatics.aspx
The initial vote ballots are due at AMA headquarters May 1 2012.
Contact your AMA district contest board representative with your concerns
and preferences regarding these proposed changes immediately as time is
short. Here is a link to the contest board members.

I pause before sending this fearing I may not have it all correct. If I'm in
error just delete it and accept my apology.
