[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposals

[J N Hiller]

The last sentence of the proposed replacement paragraph helps control the use of telemetry.
 
"The final determination of whether or not the use of telemetry information constitutes an unfair advantage is left to the discretion of the CD."

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.

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

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.
