<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial>Well !! many statements made are
miss leading by inference. The continued growth infers growth all ready
exists and they are desiring to continue that trend.. Was any solicitation done
by the BoD to obtain input or ideas from the membership? In the past, the
BoD the majority of the times, has voted in support of what the majority
indicated. Some apparently feel the weight issue is worthy of being increased
whether the majority agree with it or not. Scott is making an effort to
change things. Whether it be for the better is what is so debatable.

<DIV>I was re-reading the post about the survey and am really having a problem
with the 4th paragraph. It says:</DIV>

support in responding to the survey as the changes are believed to be
appropriate for the continued growth and sustainment of AMA
pattern. </STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Is this actually saying that our board of

to believe and even harder to fathom.</SPAN></DIV>

come from? Why the 5500 gram weight rule? Where did that one come
from? This whole thing seems strange and my goodness how many times have
some of these isssues been hashed before?</SPAN></DIV>

[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey is
available<BR></FONT><BR>
<P style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)" class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The 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">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.

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">In 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>
