[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey is available

[Scott McHarg]

Vince,
  The first survey had nothing to do with the rules.  It was created to
find out how we, as the S.I.G. to the AMA for precision aerobatics could do
a better job for our membership.  To my knowledge, those results are still
being compiled by Dr. McGraw.

Warmest Regards,
Scott
