Vince,<br> The first survey had nothing to do with the rules. It was created to find out how we, as the S.I.G. to the AMA for precision aerobatics could do a better job for our membership. To my knowledge, those results are still being compiled by Dr. McGraw.<br>

I was re-reading the post about the survey and am really having a problem with<br>
the 4th paragraph. It says:<br>
The NSRCA BoD encourages your support in responding to the survey as the changes<br>
are believed to be appropriate for the continued growth and sustainment of AMA<br>
pattern. <br>
<br>
Is this actually saying that our board of directors is for the changes stated in<br>
the survey. This is really hard to believe and even harder to fathom.<br>
<br>
Where did these "candidate rule proposals" come from? Why the 5500 gram weight<br>
rule? Where did that one come from? This whole thing seems strange and my<br>
goodness how many times have some of these isssues been hashed before?<br>

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA candidate rules proposal survey is available<br>
The NSRCA Board of Directors (BoD), in consideration of NSRCA bylaws indicating<br>
that the NSRCA should take responsibility for making a consensus statement to<br>
the AMA Rules Committee on rules pertaining to Radio Control Aerobatics, has<br>
convened a Rules Proposal Committee. The purpose of this committee is to<br>
prepare candidate rule proposals for endorsement by the NSRCA BoD. The<br>
committee is chaired by Scott McHarg and its members include Jon Carter, John<br>
Gayer, Michael McEvilley, and Rick Sweeney.<br>
<br>
The NSRCA BoD requested the rules committee to craft proposals with a focus on<br>
safety and contestant participation concerns. The rules committee was further<br>
requested to craft proposals in consideration of the varying and oftentimes<br>
conflicting opinions of the individuals that comprise the AMA pattern community,<br>
while recognizing that change is warranted. In response to NSRCA BoD direction,<br>
the rules committee has developed four (4) candidate proposals for endorsement<br>
by the NSRCA BoD.<br>
<br>
In the spirit reflected by the direction of the NSRCA BoD, this survey is<br>
offered to provide the AMA pattern community the opportunity to review,<br>
consider, and provide feedback by supporting or not supporting each of the<br>
candidate proposals to the NSRCA BoD. This survey is not a vote; it is only a<br>
means for the NSRCA BoD to gather information to be used in making their final<br>
determination of those proposals to be endorsed by the NSRCA.<br>
<br>
The NSRCA BoD encourages your support in responding to the survey as the changes<br>
are believed to be appropriate for the continued growth and sustainment of AMA<br>
pattern. <br>
<br>
Finally, it should be understood that individual AMA members are free to submit<br>
commentary on these proposals to the AMA Contest Board, and are also able to<br>
submit individual proposals on the same topics as those endorsed by the NSRCA<br>
BoD.<br>
This survey will be available until midnight March 1, 2012 and may be taken<br>
only once. The survey is available at <a href="http://www.nsrca.us" target="_blank">www.nsrca.us</a> and you must be registered<br>
with the website and logged in but being a current member is NOT required. <br>
Thank you for your understanding and participation in this rules proposal<br>
survey.<br>
