[NSRCA-dist7] FAI: F sequence at local contests

[Jon Carter]

To:        D7 FAI pilots and those D7 pilots who are considering flying FAI
at a D7 2010 contest.

 

From:    Jon Carter NSRCA D7 VP

 

I am soliciting input from all D7 FAI pilots on the question of whether to
attempt to fly some F rounds at local contests. This is currently being
discussed on RCU (I have attached a link to the discussion)

 

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9548995/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm 

 

I personally think that there are good points made on each "side" of the
discussion. I would like to get some feedback from all of you (D7 FAI
pilots) as to your preference. I know that not all of you read this list
either but I think that I have e-mail addresses for most of the current FAI
pilots and I know who you are! So, if I do not hear from some of you I will
be sending out some personal e-mails.

 

Let me state my initial assumptions:

            

1) We do this to have fun!           

2) At a local contest it is the CD's discretion as to how he runs the show.
The important thing is that any deviations from the "standard" format be
announced well in advance.

3) A set of D7 guidelines to assist a CD with this decision and a mechanism
to handle it would be a "good" thing.

4) It should never be mandatory to fly the F sequence at a local contest.
(This is strongly implied in the FAI rulebook)

 

Thanks guys, I look forward to hearing from you.
