Shutoffs according to the international commission
THE CIAM (International Aeromodelling
Commission) of the FAI met in Lausanne,
Switzerland, December 5 and 6, 2008, to
discuss a variety of issues pertaining to CL
competitions and rules. Of most interest for
those of us who are interested in F2D (FAI
Combat) was the interpretation of the shutoff
rule that took effect January 1, 2009.

F2D Rules Changes for 2011: The
change that will affect F2D (FAI Combat)
competitors the most is a reduction in the
size of muffler/silencer to 6mm from 8mm.
Experimentation with new muffler shapes
and modifications to existing units has
already begun around the world.
Control Line Combat - 2008/07
SOME OF YOU may already know that I have been selected as team
manager for the 2008 US CL team that will compete in the World
Championships. The event will begin at the end of July in France.
In addition to coordinating all the paperwork for the team and
supporters, one of my major responsibilities is to raise funds for the
F2A (Speed), F2B (Aerobatics), F2C (Team Race), and F2D
(Combat) team members. Team USA has some good corporate
friends that help out with some of the more logistically difficult tasks,
such as getting practice fuel to Landres, France.
