<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV>Being somewhat anal (club members would argue with "somewhat") I'm having a
problem understanding the relationship with FAI and CIAM. I understand (I
think) that the FAI is the international governing body for aeromodeling
competition...but where does CIAM fit in?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, F3A is the international class designation for RC aerobatics but
where does the designations "401-406" come from. My best guess is the
numbering system 401, 402, 403, 404 & 406 is an AMA designation. Is
that correct?</DIV>
