I have made this point in other fourms, but I'll bring it up again. The rule is ridiculous, because in public displays all the crowd wowing comes from close in 3D.
I'm big into 3D, does that make me dangerous? NO
I torkroll over the runway, does that make me dangerous? NO
I rudder touch. Does that make me dangerous? NO
I'm 11 years old, Does that make me dangerous? NO WAY
As long as people have the skill for what they want to do, they should be able to do it without getting yelled at or breaking rules. What's more dangerous? An out of control beginner[X(], or a responsible 3D'er gently tapping his tail on the runway[8D]? I have nearly been hit by out of control beginners, but have never heard of or seen any accident resulting from 3D. I 3D airplanes responsibly, and I fly my heli responsibly. AMA should'nt make rules like these, that should be up to the clubs! Can we do anything about this?
