-focus 0Com petition Note Technical Director Bob Underwood What mean 1992 almost over cant Golly must have having fun think 1993 will also filled new experiences As trundle new year couple changes Contest Directors others worry about sanctioned events need know First waiver place sanctioned events no longer document will disappear sanction package second change will unfortunately result inability provide information people thought would valuable tracking competition events few years ago started process identifying flew what far numbered rule book events concerned Contest Directors asked provide listing contestants event number Form 11 information transferred computer several reasons experienced problems creating accurate data number Form us listed bunch events mixed together no way us separate listing determine flew what event cases found could read name AMA number AMA number incorrect latter suggested CD didnt check contestants AMA card addition CDs listed events rule book numbers fact rule book events goal eventually Form 1 would require sorting Headquarters end reports arrived event numbers contestant AMA numbers could simply input didnt happen hours sorting through forms done effort try figure out whos whats before anything could input could really done someone very conversant rule book well events actually rule book very much like hoped would eventually able iron out problems number spin-offs original reasons trying document events flown could have provided other help included such functions keeping track advancement points used some events well providing data base further communication process contest board members during rule cycle Unfortunately results able achieve very disappointing especially light inordinately large amount time spent project Form 11 will remain sanction package However now simply registration report form event indicating flew event number space gone whether rule book class C event becomes moot point Incidentally have now provided space form address CD wishes keep self-carbon copy use promoting future events another subject recall some months ago instituted exercise better identify activities interests backgrounds Contest Directors also Leader members initially some miscommunication about intent exercise appears have finally completed project original files indicated out almost 5000 Leader members seven listed Scientific Industrial Thanks new information returned Contest Directors have almost 500 listed Scientific 200 Industrial some cases individuals now hold multiple category listings better describe interests make possible us contact specific groups needed Collecting information also made possible identify individuals no longer active Leader members desired classification dropped files Leader member 1993 membership card may indicate status important understand involved variety leadership positions within Academy priority listing may bump listing card since print space very limited Within last month Leader members sent letter signed Executive Director Vince Mankowski touched number issues requested input concerning opinions hope have opportunity send along thoughts As far updating exercise concerned sincere thank providing fresh background information Lets polish off months column some answers commonly asked questions Quite few calls letters ask about flying site requirements surfaces often far must flight line spectators RC site answer isnt specific answer Recommendations can found page four Membership Manual no requirements February 1993 115 focus Competition Quite often use phrase Its fly what how/In case remember AMA Safety Code prevails true certain rule book events such RC Pylon Racing some additional requirements must met sanctioned contests Other questions center around radio concerns instance long can continue use old wideband transmitter FCC definition non-narrow-band transmitter may used legally until March 1998 As far Academy concerned two

-focus 0Com petition Note Technical Director Bob Underwood What mean 1992 almost over cant Golly must have having fun think 1993 will also filled new experiences As trundle new year couple changes Contest Directors others worry about sanctioned events need know First waiver place sanctioned events no longer document will disappear sanction package second change will unfortunately result inability provide information people thought would valuable tracking competition events few years ago started process identifying flew what far numbered rule book events concerned Contest Directors asked provide listing contestants event number Form 11 information transferred computer several reasons experienced problems creating accurate data number Form us listed bunch events mixed together no way us separate listing determine flew what event cases found could read name AMA number AMA number incorrect latter suggested CD didnt check contestants AMA card addition CDs listed events rule book numbers fact rule book events goal eventually Form 1 would require sorting Headquarters end reports arrived event numbers contestant AMA numbers could simply input didnt happen hours sorting through forms done effort try figure out whos whats before anything could input could really done someone very conversant rule book well events actually rule book very much like hoped would eventually able iron out problems number spin-offs original reasons trying document events flown could have provided other help included such functions keeping track advancement points used some events well providing data base further communication process contest board members during rule cycle Unfortunately results able achieve very disappointing especially light inordinately large amount time spent project Form 11 will remain sanction package However now simply registration report form event indicating flew event number space gone whether rule book class C event becomes moot point Incidentally have now provided space form address CD wishes keep self-carbon copy use promoting future events another subject recall some months ago instituted exercise better identify activities interests backgrounds Contest Directors also Leader members initially some miscommunication about intent exercise appears have finally completed project original files indicated out almost 5000 Leader members seven listed Scientific Industrial Thanks new information returned Contest Directors have almost 500 listed Scientific 200 Industrial some cases individuals now hold multiple category listings better describe interests make possible us contact specific groups needed Collecting information also made possible identify individuals no longer active Leader members desired classification dropped files Leader member 1993 membership card may indicate status important understand involved variety leadership positions within Academy priority listing may bump listing card since print space very limited Within last month Leader members sent letter signed Executive Director Vince Mankowski touched number issues requested input concerning opinions hope have opportunity send along thoughts As far updating exercise concerned sincere thank providing fresh background information Lets polish off months column some answers commonly asked questions Quite few calls letters ask about flying site requirements surfaces often far must flight line spectators RC site answer isnt specific answer Recommendations can found page four Membership Manual no requirements February 1993 115 focus Competition Quite often use phrase Its fly what how/In case remember AMA Safety Code prevails true certain rule book events such RC Pylon Racing some additional requirements must met sanctioned contests Other questions center around radio concerns instance long can continue use old wideband transmitter FCC definition non-narrow-band transmitter may used legally until March 1998 As far Academy concerned two

-focus 0Com petition Note Technical Director Bob Underwood What mean 1992 almost over cant Golly must have having fun think 1993 will also filled new experiences As trundle new year couple changes Contest Directors others worry about sanctioned events need know First waiver place sanctioned events no longer document will disappear sanction package second change will unfortunately result inability provide information people thought would valuable tracking competition events few years ago started process identifying flew what far numbered rule book events concerned Contest Directors asked provide listing contestants event number Form 11 information transferred computer several reasons experienced problems creating accurate data number Form us listed bunch events mixed together no way us separate listing determine flew what event cases found could read name AMA number AMA number incorrect latter suggested CD didnt check contestants AMA card addition CDs listed events rule book numbers fact rule book events goal eventually Form 1 would require sorting Headquarters end reports arrived event numbers contestant AMA numbers could simply input didnt happen hours sorting through forms done effort try figure out whos whats before anything could input could really done someone very conversant rule book well events actually rule book very much like hoped would eventually able iron out problems number spin-offs original reasons trying document events flown could have provided other help included such functions keeping track advancement points used some events well providing data base further communication process contest board members during rule cycle Unfortunately results able achieve very disappointing especially light inordinately large amount time spent project Form 11 will remain sanction package However now simply registration report form event indicating flew event number space gone whether rule book class C event becomes moot point Incidentally have now provided space form address CD wishes keep self-carbon copy use promoting future events another subject recall some months ago instituted exercise better identify activities interests backgrounds Contest Directors also Leader members initially some miscommunication about intent exercise appears have finally completed project original files indicated out almost 5000 Leader members seven listed Scientific Industrial Thanks new information returned Contest Directors have almost 500 listed Scientific 200 Industrial some cases individuals now hold multiple category listings better describe interests make possible us contact specific groups needed Collecting information also made possible identify individuals no longer active Leader members desired classification dropped files Leader member 1993 membership card may indicate status important understand involved variety leadership positions within Academy priority listing may bump listing card since print space very limited Within last month Leader members sent letter signed Executive Director Vince Mankowski touched number issues requested input concerning opinions hope have opportunity send along thoughts As far updating exercise concerned sincere thank providing fresh background information Lets polish off months column some answers commonly asked questions Quite few calls letters ask about flying site requirements surfaces often far must flight line spectators RC site answer isnt specific answer Recommendations can found page four Membership Manual no requirements February 1993 115 focus Competition Quite often use phrase Its fly what how/In case remember AMA Safety Code prevails true certain rule book events such RC Pylon Racing some additional requirements must met sanctioned contests Other questions center around radio concerns instance long can continue use old wideband transmitter FCC definition non-narrow-band transmitter may used legally until March 1998 As far Academy concerned two

-focus 0Com petition Note Technical Director Bob Underwood What mean 1992 almost over cant Golly must have having fun think 1993 will also filled new experiences As trundle new year couple changes Contest Directors others worry about sanctioned events need know First waiver place sanctioned events no longer document will disappear sanction package second change will unfortunately result inability provide information people thought would valuable tracking competition events few years ago started process identifying flew what far numbered rule book events concerned Contest Directors asked provide listing contestants event number Form 11 information transferred computer several reasons experienced problems creating accurate data number Form us listed bunch events mixed together no way us separate listing determine flew what event cases found could read name AMA number AMA number incorrect latter suggested CD didnt check contestants AMA card addition CDs listed events rule book numbers fact rule book events goal eventually Form 1 would require sorting Headquarters end reports arrived event numbers contestant AMA numbers could simply input didnt happen hours sorting through forms done effort try figure out whos whats before anything could input could really done someone very conversant rule book well events actually rule book very much like hoped would eventually able iron out problems number spin-offs original reasons trying document events flown could have provided other help included such functions keeping track advancement points used some events well providing data base further communication process contest board members during rule cycle Unfortunately results able achieve very disappointing especially light inordinately large amount time spent project Form 11 will remain sanction package However now simply registration report form event indicating flew event number space gone whether rule book class C event becomes moot point Incidentally have now provided space form address CD wishes keep self-carbon copy use promoting future events another subject recall some months ago instituted exercise better identify activities interests backgrounds Contest Directors also Leader members initially some miscommunication about intent exercise appears have finally completed project original files indicated out almost 5000 Leader members seven listed Scientific Industrial Thanks new information returned Contest Directors have almost 500 listed Scientific 200 Industrial some cases individuals now hold multiple category listings better describe interests make possible us contact specific groups needed Collecting information also made possible identify individuals no longer active Leader members desired classification dropped files Leader member 1993 membership card may indicate status important understand involved variety leadership positions within Academy priority listing may bump listing card since print space very limited Within last month Leader members sent letter signed Executive Director Vince Mankowski touched number issues requested input concerning opinions hope have opportunity send along thoughts As far updating exercise concerned sincere thank providing fresh background information Lets polish off months column some answers commonly asked questions Quite few calls letters ask about flying site requirements surfaces often far must flight line spectators RC site answer isnt specific answer Recommendations can found page four Membership Manual no requirements February 1993 115 focus Competition Quite often use phrase Its fly what how/In case remember AMA Safety Code prevails true certain rule book events such RC Pylon Racing some additional requirements must met sanctioned contests Other questions center around radio concerns instance long can continue use old wideband transmitter FCC definition non-narrow-band transmitter may used legally until March 1998 As far Academy concerned two

-focus 0Com petition Note Technical Director Bob Underwood What mean 1992 almost over cant Golly must have having fun think 1993 will also filled new experiences As trundle new year couple changes Contest Directors others worry about sanctioned events need know First waiver place sanctioned events no longer document will disappear sanction package second change will unfortunately result inability provide information people thought would valuable tracking competition events few years ago started process identifying flew what far numbered rule book events concerned Contest Directors asked provide listing contestants event number Form 11 information transferred computer several reasons experienced problems creating accurate data number Form us listed bunch events mixed together no way us separate listing determine flew what event cases found could read name AMA number AMA number incorrect latter suggested CD didnt check contestants AMA card addition CDs listed events rule book numbers fact rule book events goal eventually Form 1 would require sorting Headquarters end reports arrived event numbers contestant AMA numbers could simply input didnt happen hours sorting through forms done effort try figure out whos whats before anything could input could really done someone very conversant rule book well events actually rule book very much like hoped would eventually able iron out problems number spin-offs original reasons trying document events flown could have provided other help included such functions keeping track advancement points used some events well providing data base further communication process contest board members during rule cycle Unfortunately results able achieve very disappointing especially light inordinately large amount time spent project Form 11 will remain sanction package However now simply registration report form event indicating flew event number space gone whether rule book class C event becomes moot point Incidentally have now provided space form address CD wishes keep self-carbon copy use promoting future events another subject recall some months ago instituted exercise better identify activities interests backgrounds Contest Directors also Leader members initially some miscommunication about intent exercise appears have finally completed project original files indicated out almost 5000 Leader members seven listed Scientific Industrial Thanks new information returned Contest Directors have almost 500 listed Scientific 200 Industrial some cases individuals now hold multiple category listings better describe interests make possible us contact specific groups needed Collecting information also made possible identify individuals no longer active Leader members desired classification dropped files Leader member 1993 membership card may indicate status important understand involved variety leadership positions within Academy priority listing may bump listing card since print space very limited Within last month Leader members sent letter signed Executive Director Vince Mankowski touched number issues requested input concerning opinions hope have opportunity send along thoughts As far updating exercise concerned sincere thank providing fresh background information Lets polish off months column some answers commonly asked questions Quite few calls letters ask about flying site requirements surfaces often far must flight line spectators RC site answer isnt specific answer Recommendations can found page four Membership Manual no requirements February 1993 115 focus Competition Quite often use phrase Its fly what how/In case remember AMA Safety Code prevails true certain rule book events such RC Pylon Racing some additional requirements must met sanctioned contests Other questions center around radio concerns instance long can continue use old wideband transmitter FCC definition non-narrow-band transmitter may used legally until March 1998 As far Academy concerned two
