Who wrote the words and what was their intention? I guarantee it doesn't do what they intended because it doesn't apply to electric powered aircraft that don't have engines.

</div>
<div>I would interpret it to mean something like control line engines that automatically change mixture setting from horizontal to vertical flight.</div>

<div>I've said it before. We don't need more rules and regulations, we need fewer. </div>

Does that make systems such as the Hacker Senestrol system which ensures a consistent RPM based on throttle position illegal? I know they were specifically designed for F3A use in Europe and have been popular...</div>

Attached is a summery of the RC Aerobatics rules change proposals for the<br>
2013-14 cycle. I put this together for a presentation at our judging seminar<br>
yesterday.<br>
<br>
The actual proposals can be viewed at<br>
<a href="http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/ruleproposals/rcaerobatics.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/ruleproposals/rcaerobatics.aspx</a><br>
The initial vote ballots are due at AMA headquarters May 1 2012.<br>
Contact your AMA district contest board representative with your concerns<br>
and preferences regarding these proposed changes immediately as time is<br>
short. Here is a link to the contest board members.<br>

I pause before sending this fearing I may not have it all correct. If I'm in<br>
error just delete it and accept my apology.<br>
