[NSRCA-discussion] Rules Proposal Cycle?

[Joe Lachowski]

Maybe he can update it to include Masters instead of having to submit another proposal. Plane size will always be dictated by FAI. So I see no reason to restrict the AMA classes to the weight rule. I guarantee you most people flying AMA classes will have their planes within a half a pound of the current limit anyway. Lets face it our planes are eggshells the way it is and if I could I would beef up areas like the landing gear structure. I can't count how many people in the AMA classes have ripped out landing gear at a local contest.

As far as Sportsman goes I am a believer of fly anything you got or at least leave it to being at the Contest Directors discretion provided the requirements are spelled out in the Sanctioning documents.


If anything FAI has made it more costly with the absurd maneuvers required to be flown which drives the complexity, shape and size of the airframes upwards along with the cost.

AMA website shows the following rules change proposal for 2018-19 already submitted by Curtis Oberg:

"I propose that the current 5000 gram weight limit be eliminated for the Sportsman, Intermediate, and Advanced Classes."

Or weigh fuel airplanes with FULL tanks.  The FAI rule does specify TAKE-OFF weight may not exceed 5 kg.  You can't take-off without fuel.

Does anyone know when the next rules proposal cycle begins?


I think it is time to stretch the weight limit to at least 4 ozs over 11 lbs. for electrics in ALL the AMA classes. Tired of paying the proverbial  $100 and ounce to get there. Glow setups have an advantage. No doubt in my mind.


Flame on.
