ANoteFromthe nical F Director Bob Underwood ONE OF THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS answer serve part group like Executive Council contest board representing vote Phrased different way might ask whether primary responsibility serve district vote desires look toward greatest good association general often response question seems clear vice president instance elected members district therefore seemingly should vote strictly according desires district isnt simple As far contest boards concerned members board appointed vice presidents other vice president no direct connection between district members-atlarge person serves Attention concern prompted during recent voting contest board member unclear felt compelled vote line mandated district recognized charge given him far being mandate true sense due fact amount activity associated rules question virtually non-existent district Therefore response received could technically called majority logical assume must vote mandate given district under circumstances fact feels along others rule should passed does greater good organization factor scenario Another concern enters Very often constituency has little opportunity participate total dialogue associated voting particular issue time another have exposed situation formed definite views either through written verbal discussion issue various points came light changed feelings matter essence exposed new convincing arguments Now ask yourself question placed position voting exposed new convincing arguments would have doggedly maintained original position no matter what possible individuals representing may also have altered viewpoint privy same discussion Perhaps must assume pragmatic approach involves dynamics change Please understand have no definite solution dilemma Rather would suggest must allow elected appointed officials degree latitude matters Personally tend toward greater good association school voting opposed parochial district concept interesting solution case contest boards ran idea up flagpole couple years ago Simply stated replaced nine VP-appointed 11member boards smaller elected board plan presented would enable individuals directly involved given activity vote board members-at-large member elected AMA district further goal bring smaller groups together face-toface meeting time initial vote facilitate communication process idea didnt fly variety reasons Would now dont know know board members concern prompted words would nonconcern used elected at-large board member process would know voting greater good association comments invited whole new subject following comments offered Dave Platt Chairman Scale Contest Board shape Scale come Since last September Scale Contest Board has considering proposals rule changes made membership Now final ballot has cast results known might timely examine proposals passed will have significant impact upon scale contest scene January 1 1994 b reasons some other proposals failed Taking b first since quicker deal noticeable reactions cycles batch proposals healthy antagonism modelers out over-wordy complicated ideas much feedback received Board members phrases like forget calculus load gobbledygook occurred Scale contestants want keep things rule book simple other thing needs stressed Scale Contest Board has long held Flying Scale contest should just equal emphasis flying Scale Also body feel Scale contestant should able make model subject competitive reasons proposals failed time have done historically seeking give extra emphasis flying over static because would place some kind subject usually non-aerobatic types disadvantage Moving proposals did pass thus find way rule book 1994 Besides couple minor housekeeping changes have two major changes direction universally-hated rule 46 list purchased items finally history No Scale event will require form next January mechanism getting rid unpopular some degree justified rule has divide up competition events differently past mixed scratch own-design models kits circumstances need existed attempt equate effort made contestants comparison purposes retrospect has probably faulty system along no other sport comes mind attempts make work future own-design models will have separate event category Designer Scale distinction between rules existing Expert Sport Scale event Designer Scale will eligibility requirement

little actually judging models both statically flight same classes Sportsman Expert Designer thats needed key contestants name 5 E D denote division being flown announce results accordingly Lastly sad news few very few suspect oldest RC scale event Precision Scale gone years laying doldrums hardly contests being offered permanently-disappointing entry numbers board finally faced up reality Precisions time over deleting rule book offering new top-level event Designer its place rules everyone already understands no special requirements model its documentation hoped clubs will offer

ANoteFromthe nical F Director Bob Underwood ONE OF THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS answer serve part group like Executive Council contest board representing vote Phrased different way might ask whether primary responsibility serve district vote desires look toward greatest good association general often response question seems clear vice president instance elected members district therefore seemingly should vote strictly according desires district isnt simple As far contest boards concerned members board appointed vice presidents other vice president no direct connection between district members-atlarge person serves Attention concern prompted during recent voting contest board member unclear felt compelled vote line mandated district recognized charge given him far being mandate true sense due fact amount activity associated rules question virtually non-existent district Therefore response received could technically called majority logical assume must vote mandate given district under circumstances fact feels along others rule should passed does greater good organization factor scenario Another concern enters Very often constituency has little opportunity participate total dialogue associated voting particular issue time another have exposed situation formed definite views either through written verbal discussion issue various points came light changed feelings matter essence exposed new convincing arguments Now ask yourself question placed position voting exposed new convincing arguments would have doggedly maintained original position no matter what possible individuals representing may also have altered viewpoint privy same discussion Perhaps must assume pragmatic approach involves dynamics change Please understand have no definite solution dilemma Rather would suggest must allow elected appointed officials degree latitude matters Personally tend toward greater good association school voting opposed parochial district concept interesting solution case contest boards ran idea up flagpole couple years ago Simply stated replaced nine VP-appointed 11member boards smaller elected board plan presented would enable individuals directly involved given activity vote board members-at-large member elected AMA district further goal bring smaller groups together face-toface meeting time initial vote facilitate communication process idea didnt fly variety reasons Would now dont know know board members concern prompted words would nonconcern used elected at-large board member process would know voting greater good association comments invited whole new subject following comments offered Dave Platt Chairman Scale Contest Board shape Scale come Since last September Scale Contest Board has considering proposals rule changes made membership Now final ballot has cast results known might timely examine proposals passed will have significant impact upon scale contest scene January 1 1994 b reasons some other proposals failed Taking b first since quicker deal noticeable reactions cycles batch proposals healthy antagonism modelers out over-wordy complicated ideas much feedback received Board members phrases like forget calculus load gobbledygook occurred Scale contestants want keep things rule book simple other thing needs stressed Scale Contest Board has long held Flying Scale contest should just equal emphasis flying Scale Also body feel Scale contestant should able make model subject competitive reasons proposals failed time have done historically seeking give extra emphasis flying over static because would place some kind subject usually non-aerobatic types disadvantage Moving proposals did pass thus find way rule book 1994 Besides couple minor housekeeping changes have two major changes direction universally-hated rule 46 list purchased items finally history No Scale event will require form next January mechanism getting rid unpopular some degree justified rule has divide up competition events differently past mixed scratch own-design models kits circumstances need existed attempt equate effort made contestants comparison purposes retrospect has probably faulty system along no other sport comes mind attempts make work future own-design models will have separate event category Designer Scale distinction between rules existing Expert Sport Scale event Designer Scale will eligibility requirement model other rules same So now will have own-design October 1993 125 w models competing against other kit/plan models doing same thing no basis unfairness prevails course nobody says owndesign model can compete Designer Scale contestant could enter regular Expert wanted although its unlikely hell want First 46 gone hes placed disadvantage kit/plan entries model qualifies higher class hell probably want enter Indeed some have said likely scenario would kit contestant attempt enter Designer Scale Will added prestige entering top category result such wangling will hope kit contestants great number could design own model now move up doing Until now little point competition-wise creating own design January changes Now point fly peers What contest organizers will new class affect Very little actually judging models both statically flight same classes Sportsman Expert Designer thats needed key contestants name 5 E D denote division being flown announce results accordingly Lastly sad news few very few suspect oldest RC scale event Precision Scale gone years laying doldrums hardly contests being offered permanently-disappointing entry numbers board finally faced up reality Precisions time over deleting rule book offering new top-level event Designer its place rules everyone already understands no special requirements model its documentation hoped clubs will offer Designer support will far exceed what Precision getting Time will tell 1993 FAI/CIAM Technical Meeting Report F3C Subcommittee SIC Technical Meeting TM voted rules change proposals pertaining ClAM

ANoteFromthe nical F Director Bob Underwood ONE OF THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS answer serve part group like Executive Council contest board representing vote Phrased different way might ask whether primary responsibility serve district vote desires look toward greatest good association general often response question seems clear vice president instance elected members district therefore seemingly should vote strictly according desires district isnt simple As far contest boards concerned members board appointed vice presidents other vice president no direct connection between district members-atlarge person serves Attention concern prompted during recent voting contest board member unclear felt compelled vote line mandated district recognized charge given him far being mandate true sense due fact amount activity associated rules question virtually non-existent district Therefore response received could technically called majority logical assume must vote mandate given district under circumstances fact feels along others rule should passed does greater good organization factor scenario Another concern enters Very often constituency has little opportunity participate total dialogue associated voting particular issue time another have exposed situation formed definite views either through written verbal discussion issue various points came light changed feelings matter essence exposed new convincing arguments Now ask yourself question placed position voting exposed new convincing arguments would have doggedly maintained original position no matter what possible individuals representing may also have altered viewpoint privy same discussion Perhaps must assume pragmatic approach involves dynamics change Please understand have no definite solution dilemma Rather would suggest must allow elected appointed officials degree latitude matters Personally tend toward greater good association school voting opposed parochial district concept interesting solution case contest boards ran idea up flagpole couple years ago Simply stated replaced nine VP-appointed 11member boards smaller elected board plan presented would enable individuals directly involved given activity vote board members-at-large member elected AMA district further goal bring smaller groups together face-toface meeting time initial vote facilitate communication process idea didnt fly variety reasons Would now dont know know board members concern prompted words would nonconcern used elected at-large board member process would know voting greater good association comments invited whole new subject following comments offered Dave Platt Chairman Scale Contest Board shape Scale come Since last September Scale Contest Board has considering proposals rule changes made membership Now final ballot has cast results known might timely examine proposals passed will have significant impact upon scale contest scene January 1 1994 b reasons some other proposals failed Taking b first since quicker deal noticeable reactions cycles batch proposals healthy antagonism modelers out over-wordy complicated ideas much feedback received Board members phrases like forget calculus load gobbledygook occurred Scale contestants want keep things rule book simple other thing needs stressed Scale Contest Board has long held Flying Scale contest should just equal emphasis flying Scale Also body feel Scale contestant should able make model subject competitive reasons proposals failed time have done historically seeking give extra emphasis flying over static because would place some kind subject usually non-aerobatic types disadvantage Moving proposals did pass thus find way rule book 1994 Besides couple minor housekeeping changes have two major changes direction universally-hated rule 46 list purchased items finally history No Scale event will require form next January mechanism getting rid unpopular some degree justified rule has divide up competition events differently past mixed scratch own-design models kits circumstances need existed attempt equate effort made contestants comparison purposes retrospect has probably faulty system along no other sport comes mind attempts make work future own-design models will have separate event category Designer Scale distinction between rules existing Expert Sport Scale event Designer Scale will eligibility requirement model other rules same So now will have own-design October 1993 125 w models competing against other kit/plan models doing same thing no basis unfairness prevails course nobody says owndesign model can compete Designer Scale contestant could enter regular Expert wanted although its unlikely hell want First 46 gone hes placed disadvantage kit/plan entries model qualifies higher class hell probably want enter Indeed some have said likely scenario would kit contestant attempt enter Designer Scale Will added prestige entering top category result such wangling will hope kit contestants great number could design own model now move up doing Until now little point competition-wise creating own design January changes Now point fly peers What contest organizers will new class affect Very little actually judging models both statically flight same classes Sportsman Expert Designer thats needed key contestants name 5 E D denote division being flown announce results accordingly Lastly sad news few very few suspect oldest RC scale event Precision Scale gone years laying doldrums hardly contests being offered permanently-disappointing entry numbers board finally faced up reality Precisions time over deleting rule book offering new top-level event Designer its place rules everyone already understands no special requirements model its documentation hoped clubs will offer Designer support will far exceed what Precision getting Time will tell 1993 FAI/CIAM Technical Meeting Report F3C Subcommittee SIC Technical Meeting TM voted rules change proposals pertaining ClAM

ANoteFromthe nical F Director Bob Underwood ONE OF THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS answer serve part group like Executive Council contest board representing vote Phrased different way might ask whether primary responsibility serve district vote desires look toward greatest good association general often response question seems clear vice president instance elected members district therefore seemingly should vote strictly according desires district isnt simple As far contest boards concerned members board appointed vice presidents other vice president no direct connection between district members-atlarge person serves Attention concern prompted during recent voting contest board member unclear felt compelled vote line mandated district recognized charge given him far being mandate true sense due fact amount activity associated rules question virtually non-existent district Therefore response received could technically called majority logical assume must vote mandate given district under circumstances fact feels along others rule should passed does greater good organization factor scenario Another concern enters Very often constituency has little opportunity participate total dialogue associated voting particular issue time another have exposed situation formed definite views either through written verbal discussion issue various points came light changed feelings matter essence exposed new convincing arguments Now ask yourself question placed position voting exposed new convincing arguments would have doggedly maintained original position no matter what possible individuals representing may also have altered viewpoint privy same discussion Perhaps must assume pragmatic approach involves dynamics change Please understand have no definite solution dilemma Rather would suggest must allow elected appointed officials degree latitude matters Personally tend toward greater good association school voting opposed parochial district concept interesting solution case contest boards ran idea up flagpole couple years ago Simply stated replaced nine VP-appointed 11member boards smaller elected board plan presented would enable individuals directly involved given activity vote board members-at-large member elected AMA district further goal bring smaller groups together face-toface meeting time initial vote facilitate communication process idea didnt fly variety reasons Would now dont know know board members concern prompted words would nonconcern used elected at-large board member process would know voting greater good association comments invited whole new subject following comments offered Dave Platt Chairman Scale Contest Board shape Scale come Since last September Scale Contest Board has considering proposals rule changes made membership Now final ballot has cast results known might timely examine proposals passed will have significant impact upon scale contest scene January 1 1994 b reasons some other proposals failed Taking b first since quicker deal noticeable reactions cycles batch proposals healthy antagonism modelers out over-wordy complicated ideas much feedback received Board members phrases like forget calculus load gobbledygook occurred Scale contestants want keep things rule book simple other thing needs stressed Scale Contest Board has long held Flying Scale contest should just equal emphasis flying Scale Also body feel Scale contestant should able make model subject competitive reasons proposals failed time have done historically seeking give extra emphasis flying over static because would place some kind subject usually non-aerobatic types disadvantage Moving proposals did pass thus find way rule book 1994 Besides couple minor housekeeping changes have two major changes direction universally-hated rule 46 list purchased items finally history No Scale event will require form next January mechanism getting rid unpopular some degree justified rule has divide up competition events differently past mixed scratch own-design models kits circumstances need existed attempt equate effort made contestants comparison purposes retrospect has probably faulty system along no other sport comes mind attempts make work future own-design models will have separate event category Designer Scale distinction between rules existing Expert Sport Scale event Designer Scale will eligibility requirement model other rules same So now will have own-design October 1993 125 w models competing against other kit/plan models doing same thing no basis unfairness prevails course nobody says owndesign model can compete Designer Scale contestant could enter regular Expert wanted although its unlikely hell want First 46 gone hes placed disadvantage kit/plan entries model qualifies higher class hell probably want enter Indeed some have said likely scenario would kit contestant attempt enter Designer Scale Will added prestige entering top category result such wangling will hope kit contestants great number could design own model now move up doing Until now little point competition-wise creating own design January changes Now point fly peers What contest organizers will new class affect Very little actually judging models both statically flight same classes Sportsman Expert Designer thats needed key contestants name 5 E D denote division being flown announce results accordingly Lastly sad news few very few suspect oldest RC scale event Precision Scale gone years laying doldrums hardly contests being offered permanently-disappointing entry numbers board finally faced up reality Precisions time over deleting rule book offering new top-level event Designer its place rules everyone already understands no special requirements model its documentation hoped clubs will offer Designer support will far exceed what Precision getting Time will tell 1993 FAI/CIAM Technical Meeting Report F3C Subcommittee SIC Technical Meeting TM voted rules change proposals pertaining ClAM

ANoteFromthe nical F Director Bob Underwood ONE OF THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS answer serve part group like Executive Council contest board representing vote Phrased different way might ask whether primary responsibility serve district vote desires look toward greatest good association general often response question seems clear vice president instance elected members district therefore seemingly should vote strictly according desires district isnt simple As far contest boards concerned members board appointed vice presidents other vice president no direct connection between district members-atlarge person serves Attention concern prompted during recent voting contest board member unclear felt compelled vote line mandated district recognized charge given him far being mandate true sense due fact amount activity associated rules question virtually non-existent district Therefore response received could technically called majority logical assume must vote mandate given district under circumstances fact feels along others rule should passed does greater good organization factor scenario Another concern enters Very often constituency has little opportunity participate total dialogue associated voting particular issue time another have exposed situation formed definite views either through written verbal discussion issue various points came light changed feelings matter essence exposed new convincing arguments Now ask yourself question placed position voting exposed new convincing arguments would have doggedly maintained original position no matter what possible individuals representing may also have altered viewpoint privy same discussion Perhaps must assume pragmatic approach involves dynamics change Please understand have no definite solution dilemma Rather would suggest must allow elected appointed officials degree latitude matters Personally tend toward greater good association school voting opposed parochial district concept interesting solution case contest boards ran idea up flagpole couple years ago Simply stated replaced nine VP-appointed 11member boards smaller elected board plan presented would enable individuals directly involved given activity vote board members-at-large member elected AMA district further goal bring smaller groups together face-toface meeting time initial vote facilitate communication process idea didnt fly variety reasons Would now dont know know board members concern prompted words would nonconcern used elected at-large board member process would know voting greater good association comments invited whole new subject following comments offered Dave Platt Chairman Scale Contest Board shape Scale come Since last September Scale Contest Board has considering proposals rule changes made membership Now final ballot has cast results known might timely examine proposals passed will have significant impact upon scale contest scene January 1 1994 b reasons some other proposals failed Taking b first since quicker deal noticeable reactions cycles batch proposals healthy antagonism modelers out over-wordy complicated ideas much feedback received Board members phrases like forget calculus load gobbledygook occurred Scale contestants want keep things rule book simple other thing needs stressed Scale Contest Board has long held Flying Scale contest should just equal emphasis flying Scale Also body feel Scale contestant should able make model subject competitive reasons proposals failed time have done historically seeking give extra emphasis flying over static because would place some kind subject usually non-aerobatic types disadvantage Moving proposals did pass thus find way rule book 1994 Besides couple minor housekeeping changes have two major changes direction universally-hated rule 46 list purchased items finally history No Scale event will require form next January mechanism getting rid unpopular some degree justified rule has divide up competition events differently past mixed scratch own-design models kits circumstances need existed attempt equate effort made contestants comparison purposes retrospect has probably faulty system along no other sport comes mind attempts make work future own-design models will have separate event category Designer Scale distinction between rules existing Expert Sport Scale event Designer Scale will eligibility requirement model other rules same So now will have own-design October 1993 125 w models competing against other kit/plan models doing same thing no basis unfairness prevails course nobody says owndesign model can compete Designer Scale contestant could enter regular Expert wanted although its unlikely hell want First 46 gone hes placed disadvantage kit/plan entries model qualifies higher class hell probably want enter Indeed some have said likely scenario would kit contestant attempt enter Designer Scale Will added prestige entering top category result such wangling will hope kit contestants great number could design own model now move up doing Until now little point competition-wise creating own design January changes Now point fly peers What contest organizers will new class affect Very little actually judging models both statically flight same classes Sportsman Expert Designer thats needed key contestants name 5 E D denote division being flown announce results accordingly Lastly sad news few very few suspect oldest RC scale event Precision Scale gone years laying doldrums hardly contests being offered permanently-disappointing entry numbers board finally faced up reality Precisions time over deleting rule book offering new top-level event Designer its place rules everyone already understands no special requirements model its documentation hoped clubs will offer Designer support will far exceed what Precision getting Time will tell 1993 FAI/CIAM Technical Meeting Report F3C Subcommittee SIC Technical Meeting TM voted rules change proposals pertaining ClAM

1992 European Championships EC got no response Yet discussions individual pilots get impression some no longer satisfied present program get input 1993 WC September will construct new program will outrageous pilot will scream offer suggestions least hope same discussion F3C pilots number items have put forth would make present schedule demanding changing maneuvers first adding turnaround requirement aerobatic maneuver must performed pass front judges second item addressed pilots position during maneuvers intent force pilot stand next judges maneuvers next suggestion reintroduce different Kfactors maneuver award points difficult maneuvers course has some discussion introducing new maneuvers presented list maneuvers used last years Gauntlet competition sponsored Hudson Valley
