Important Notice:
Please be advised that the Nat’s will be conducted according to the SA Rules as they are written with no deviation or waivers. Please understand that in the past our neighbors at the National Flying Site have complained about the noise of our aircraft. So the Nat’s team (in agreement with the Nat’s Management Staff) will be conducting,
General Rule, 5. Scale Aerobatic Sound Limits:
Rule 5.3: Ground Sound Level Test.
Prior to flying the first round of a contest; each competition model must pass the Ground Sound Level Test. The Ground Sound Level Test must be completed at the sanctioned contest site by the Contest Director or his/her designee. Testing shall be done in an area designated by the Contest Director and may be completed prior to or during the first round. Models successfully completing the test will not be measured again during the contest unless their sound level is deemed to have increased significantly since the initial check by the Contest Director. Any plane that fails the test will not fly, but will be moved to the back of the flight order, and allowed one more attempt to pass the test. Any model that fails the second test will zero all judged sequences he would have flown during the current round. Any model that fails the second test may be tested again during future rounds with the same Ground Level Sound Test criteria being applied. No model will fly any judged sequences at any Scale Aerobatics contest until it passes the Ground Sound Level Test.
This notice allows ample time to comply with this rule before the Nat’s. Help preserve our flying fields by making your models quiet as possible.
“All of our planes can be made to be even quieter than they are, even yours.”

Kent Porter
