ALL RULES-CHANGE PROPOSALS 1994-1995 have processed arent very received complete set proposals district RC Aerobatics Contest Board member John Fuqua surprised few proposals several duplicates least similar Apparently National Society Radio Controlled Aerobatics NSRCA got years mixed up something because no NSRCA-sponsored proposals two-year rules-change cycle may remember last rules-change cycle dominated NSRCA rules-change proposals should have read synopsis proposals Focus Competition section January issue Unfortunately Model Aviation unable publish complete text rules changes synopsis will have unless write district board member copies include SASE big prospective changes submitted Paul Towkach Jacksonville Florida Paul suggests changing scoring Takeoff Landing either 0 10 Just FAI flier flew required sequence would earn 10 otherwise zero would awarded Paul claims both maneuvers have overtaken events Time few fliers could take off land very well judging takeoffs landings meaningful measure pilots ability Nowadays taking off landing difficult once relative other maneuvers Further Paul claims lengthy descriptions clarifications downgrades both maneuvers could eliminated rule book negative response have heard about proposal made during review rules-change proposals John Fuqua fliers Southeastern Pattern Championships held Ocala Florida October objector said best maneuvers Paul said rest case proposals change maneuver schedules ones submitted got letter individual wrote should leave rules-change proposals NSRCA dont believe especially since NSRCA apparently didnt realize deadline Based what Ive read recently K-Factor newsletter NSRCA believe NSRCA thought proposals due another year case saw what thought need put together own proposals Ive already told about some proposals planned submit Id like recap First suggested replacing Procedure Turn /2 Reverse Cuban 8 Novice maneuver schedule Procedure Turn 20-plus-year-old dinosaur takes up lot airspace difficult judge need put death favor relatively simple turnaround maneuver easy judge can done box reading down Novice maneuver schedule noticed adding Split S turnaround right after Immelmann Turn would simple way get another turnaround maneuver practice pilots perform anyway get set up Three Inside Loops Sportsman maneuver schedule currently have three sets three maneuvers must done box last maneuver schedule Three Horizontal Rolls downwind maneuver Most pilots drop landing gear fly upwind gear check before landing /2 Cuban 8 turnaround followed Square Loop Center maneuver added after Three Horizontal Rolls maneuver schedule would have four sets three maneuvers box would take very little extra time gear check could done downwind pass before landing way think its good idea maneuver schedules end upwind heading gear check can done downwind pass avoiding wasteful extra time check substantive maneuver schedule changes Ive proposed occur Advanced class few exceptions comments Ive heard about Advanced maneuver schedule have its too short its too easy did schedule currently flying come anyway direct copy Canadian Advanced schedule wasnt designed coordinated Sportsman Master schedules either side it just copied because proven pattern think number Advanced maneuvers average difficulty should about halfway between 64 Model Aviation DIO CONTROL AEROBATICS Paul Hives

diabolically perfect maneuver difficult perform well its easy judge proposal suggests outlawing tuned pipes Novice assumes prospective pattern fliers would put off expense buying tuned pipe competitive What ignored competitors must have effective silencing system order avoid noise penalty good mufflers cost about much tuned-pipe system effective muffler Ive seen Davis Diesel Developments

housekeeping rules changes also proposed Rick Allison Redmond Washington has proposal bring maneuver downgrades up date Rick Allison Russell Knetzger Milwaukee Wisconsin have similar proposals clarify Landing Zone description method awarding landing points both would moot Paul Towkach s proposal award either 0 10 landing accepted Lastly proposed allowing pilot pick takeoff landing direction takeoff
