<br>
Point has been made that for the most part we don't have a sandbagging problem
-<br>
I think that is generally true. In part because we do have an Advancement
process that<br>
is a foundation upon which peer pressure rests. I think not having
any system is an over <br>
reaction. I am in favor of adjusting, revising, etc, the
advancement system as may be <br>
helpful.<br>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>I was curious about
this procedure last winter and did some research.<br>
The form is obtained from the AMA and is filled out in duplicate.<br>
The requester states his reason for asking to move back.<br>
He then has a CD and his AMA district contest board member sign it.<br>
You can find the contest board member list in the back of every other month's
Model Aviation or on the AMA website.<br>
After that it goes to your AMA district VP who forwards both forms on to Muncie
after he signs them.<br>
AMA Muncie does not approve, disapprove, grant or deny these request.
They only place one copy on file<br>
and return the other copy to the requester.<br>
Done.<br>
As a CD I would sign anyone's request that was sincere for whatever the reason.<br>
I bet the contest board member would be the same.<br>
The AMA DVP will sign based on the previous recommendations.<br>
