J_R,
I did just that. Here's my e-mail to Dave Mathewson:
Good morning Dave,
As I'm sure you're aware, there is a big discussion on RCU about the new turbine rules and Dave Brown's efforts to block them
I have no idea what the rules are, but, according to the people "in the know", they're a good step forward.
You've always been an honest and stand up guy and you, as the liaison between the AMA and JPO, would know better than the rest of the EC if in fact they are a step forward for turbine modelers. I hope that, if this is the case, you rally the other members of the EC and stand up to DB's power play to usurp the will of the EC.
Regards,
Jon Van Skiver

If Dave can't get it done, I don't think there's much hope on these new regs.
