Brett,

I understand that argument of using the FAI sporting code as our guide lines.

I disagree completely.

I have one huge problem with that, it would result in the AMA having pretty much zero input to the sport even in our own country. If we're going to then allow the lower classes to have different rules then we're right back where are now. AMA rules and FAI rules. The way it should be.

I do not wish to allow the FAI to dictate through rules what we do in the US in classes other than FAI.

FAI is not an AMA class and there fore not subject to our Rules.


The Vanquish 2 is a step in the right direction but I doubt you'll ever see one flown in FAI except perhaps at a local contest. In the other classes it's going to be a huge hit if the weight and longevity proves out. I'm waiting on them to come in so I can get two of them for next year.

BTW

Thank you very much for manning the weigh in tent for the Nats.

Tim
