Focus on Competition - 2009/11

the AMA Web site (www.modelaircraft.org).
The template is also available as “333
(Word)” in “AMA Documents (PDF).”
All that’s needed is to complete the
Word document and attach it to an e-mail
and send it to either me or Michelle Lamb
at [email protected]. The
signatures page is no longer required to
be completed—just the proposer’s info.
I will view the proposal and check it
for compatibility. Then it will be posted
to the AMA Web site under “Competition/
Events,” “Rule Proposals,” and the
specific discipline for which the proposal
is intended.
The timing change mainly has to do
with the amount of time allotted for
submission and then a shortened voting
sequence. You now have until March 15
of the book year or 14 months to submit
original proposals before the initial voting
takes place.
What I hope to accomplish with these
changes is to make the process easier for
the membership to be involved and then
keep the voting sequence short enough
that the process won’t get strung out over
time, and the Contest Boards can
accomplish their jobs.
There is a full explanation and chart of
the process in the Membership Manual
and on the AMA Web site at www.model
aircraft.org/events/ruleproposals.aspx
under “Contest Board Procedures.” If you
have other questions or need something
explained further, send me an e-mail and
I’ll do what I can.
New Rule Book Cycle: For those of you
who are interested in the rule book and what
it contains or doesn’t, there is a new cycle
being tried for the first time. Actually, the
cycle and procedures are the same; just the
timing and submission have changed.
Rules-change proposals are now made
online by using the Word template,
available on the opening page of “Rule
Proposals” under “Competition/Events” on
Technically Speaking ...

Frequency Questions: Recently I’ve
had several questions pertaining to if and
when our 72 MHz frequencies are going
to go away. I guess there have been
several rumors traveling up and down
the East Coast that sometime in the notso-
distant future, 72 MHz will no longer
be legal for model aircraft use.
The fear of this scenario may be
worsened by the fact that many of the
larger modeling events, such as the Joe
Nall Fly-In, Top Gun, IRCHA Jamboree,
and so on, are now operating on 2.4 GHz
only. That decision was made by the
organizers of those events only and was
not influenced by the AMA or a move
by the FCC. The sheer number of
participants attending those events
makes the use of an impound much too
time- and manpower-consuming.
I can say from the AMA’s standpoint
that there have been no attempts to ban
by, or dialog with, the FCC or any other
government agency pertaining to our use
of the 72 MHz band.
I know there has been considerable
concern from members also over the
manufacturers’ significant decline in
producing equipment operating on the
72 MHz frequencies. But to our
knowledge, there has been no talk of
completely eliminating that type of
equipment.
If there happens to be a change to
these situations sometime in the future,
we will inform the membership as soon
as info becomes available to us. MA
