    <p>Joe,</p>
    <p>The membership referred to is that of the NSRCA and it is an
      NSRCA vote. There can be no other interpretation or the freeflight
      community will be voting on our new sequences. The survey could be
      considered an approval vote with reservations which I hope have
      been addressed. Hard to tell. I certainly would not consider the
      current sequence process to be very open.<br>
    </p>
    <p>The rulebook, as I have mentioned before, also limits the
      sportsman sequence to four years. Unless you want to do another
      goaround next year, I suggest you rerelease the current sequence
      along with a statement that the Sportsman sequence was examined
      and found to be valid for another four year cycle. That should be
      done as part of your upcoming release.</p>
    <p>John<br>
    </p>
    <p>RULE:</p>
    <p>The Radio Control Aerobatics sequences will be developed
      periodically by the National Society of Radio Control Aerobatics
      (NSRCA) Sequence Committee which is appointed by the NSRCA Board
      of Directors. The NSRCA Board of Directors will supervise the
      sequence development and will submit the proposed sequences to the
      membership for approval before they approve all sequences for use
      in RCA competition. All current sequences can be found at the
      NSRCA<br>
      website. The NSRCA will modify the sequences for classes 401, 402
      and 403, Indoor R/C Aerobatics Sportsman and Indoor R/C Aerobatics
      Intermediate at least every four years and the sequence for class
      404 will be modified at least every two years, but sequences may
      be updated more frequently as required. Sequences will be
      published no later than December for the following year. A
      description of each maneuver for all sequences can be found on the
      NSRCA website at: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nsrca.us/index.php/sequences">http://nsrca.us/index.php/sequences</a>.<br>
