.Just a curiosity. Was the safety proposal ever discussed with the AMA Safety Committee for an opinion on whether it was a good idea or whether it might from a legal standpoint potentially open a can of worms?

To me something like this would best be placed in the general section of the competition guidelines for it to apply for all areas of competition that use electric propulsion.

Another thing to consider is if this thing flys, it might eventually lead to forcing other disciplines into adopting this and then you will start hearing other people complain about them darn pattern flyers ruining their fun.

I believe the general rules with regards to safety only spell out to use common sense. Been a while since I've read through the general section.
