              You are all correct in that the word "engine" was used    inappropriately and we should have used "powerplant".
    Where were all you guys when we published and surveyed on this    proposal PRIOR to  submitting to the CB???

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.

                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.
