All you had to do is say "Yes" to my post. It is my guess that I am not the only one that did not understand the actual implications of the rule as written. I know you guys mean well and a statement/rule written as Tony stated is a much better solution. If this rule get's passed by AMA all "HELL" will break out when it's tried to be enforced either at the Nat's or a local event. It is my opinion this will hurt NSRCA.

As for the accident that destroyed an aircraft I have two thoughts:

1. I doubt we have all the facts and full story as to what actually happened.
2. This is a case of "Personal Responsibility" and the resolution to this incident is unknown but I suspect the offending person paid an agreed amount for his mistake and that's how it should be handled. If I trip in the pitts and fall on someone's aircraft and destroy it, are you going to make a rule that states "no person may walk unattended in the pitts. This is exactly the same situtation! "S__T HAPPENS" and no rule is going to stop it! I have seen more mid-airs resulting in uncontrolled aircraft crashing into the pits than I have ever seen ellectric aircraft all of a sudden arm and hit something. Should we make a rule that in AMA Pattern you can have only one aircraft in the air at a time?

I will fight this rule with all available avenues to me and would hope others that feel this way will express themselves and do the same!

Please understand this does not mean I will not come and drink all your beer at a contest!
