NSRCA Board of Directors (BoD), in consideration of NSRCA bylaws
indicating that the NSRCA should take responsibility for making a
consensus statement to the AMA Rules Committee on rules pertaining to
Radio Control Aerobatics, has convened a Rules Proposal Committee. The
purpose of this committee is to prepare candidate rule proposals for
endorsement by the NSRCA BoD. The committee is chaired by Scott McHarg
and its members include Jon Carter, John Gayer, Michael McEvilley, and
Rick Sweeney.</span></b></p><p style="color:rgb(51,51,255)" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></b></p><p style="color:rgb(51,51,255)" class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The
NSRCA BoD requested the rules committee to craft proposals with a focus
on safety and contestant participation concerns. The rules committee
was further requested to craft proposals in consideration of the varying
and oftentimes conflicting opinions of the individuals that comprise
the AMA pattern community, while recognizing that change is warranted. In
response to NSRCA BoD direction, the rules committee has developed four
(4) candidate proposals for endorsement by the NSRCA BoD. </span></b></p><p style="color:rgb(51,51,255)" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></b></p>

the spirit reflected by the direction of the NSRCA BoD, this survey is
offered to provide the AMA pattern community the opportunity to review,
consider, and provide feedback by supporting or not supporting each of
the candidate proposals to the NSRCA BoD. This survey is not a vote; it
is only a means for the NSRCA
BoD to gather information to be used in making their final determination
of those proposals to be endorsed by the NSRCA. </span></b></p><p style="color:rgb(51,51,255)" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></b></p><p style="color:rgb(51,51,255)" class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The
NSRCA BoD encourages your support in responding to the survey as the
changes are believed to be appropriate for the continued growth and
