<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Certainly the F3A folks have an interest in this info. AMA
competitors might also find the info and process interesting. For those who
haven't deciphered the FAI system, look at the CIAM as being for worldwide
modeling somewhat similar to what the AMA is for US modeling, at the competition
level. The individual subcommittees (F3A is pattern) within the CIAM function
sort of like AMA Contest Boards, with each participating country having a
representative. A significant change is that the internet now provides for rapid
exchange of info / ideas worldwide, presenting an opportunity for everyone to
participate in the process.</FONT></DIV>

Information</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I received the latest CIAM F3A newsletter from the
chairman of the CIAM along with a number of proposals that pertain to
clarifying F3A rules in the FAI rulebook. If you are an F3A competitor I
would encourage you to read the newsletter and also to read the proposals and
if you have any feedback on them please provide them to me and I will pass
them on.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The deadline to provide feedback is Nov. 15th but
should be received by them (CIAM) prior to the 15th, so you'll need to get
them to me as soon as possible. I would also encourage you to think
about changes you'd like to see in the rules, if you think they are not clear,
so that a potential proposal can be submitted to the CIAM. Please pass
this information on to other F3A pilots that do not receive emails from this
list. I will also be posting this information on RCU.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>All the information is available on the NSRCA
website at </FONT><A href="http:/www.nsrca.us"><U><FONT face=Arial

and then click on the FAI - CIAM F3A Information link on the main
page.</FONT></P>
