Just a reminder what the rules say,

At any contest that will enforce the noise limits, all contestants must have access to the equipment to check their models prior to the start of the event. If this cannot be done then the noise limits will not be enforced.

I think the banquet scheduling is a bad idea. The F3A pilots are going to want to get the finals pilots announced and the unknowns handed out as early as possible so they can begin to work on them. Next year is a Team Selection year so everyone who makes the Finals will want to do their best.

I also feel that the deadlines for entry are too early. Why does pre-entry have to end one month prior to the start of the contest? Also, why does late entry have to end two weeks before the contest starts? And why would you not accept the entry of anyone that wants to fly in the Nats?

Weighing every model is simply not necessary and is enforcing a rule on everyone that we all know is pretty much ignored at every other contest but the Nats. Why are you worried about the weight of the 20th place model? Who would care?

What did the NSRCA BOD say when this plan was presented to them? Doesn't the NSRCA have something to say about the running of the Nats?
