You are all correct in that the word "engine" was used
inappropriately and we should have used "powerplant".<br>
Where were all you guys when we published and surveyed on this

Attached is a summery of the RC Aerobatics rules
change proposals for the<br>

yesterday.<br>
<br>
The actual proposals can be viewed at<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>
