Actually, the rules proposal from the safety committee wasn't asking for the removal of the speed limit, only that speed limiters not be required for all aircraft. By a unanimous vote, including consideration of the data, the EC agreed.
Hi Keith,
I'm slightly confused ... did you really mean "safety committe" above, or "TRC" ? TRC would seem to fit more with the discussion at hand.
According to Gordon Dickens (see post #17 in
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_15...tm.htm#1511300), it would appear that the proposal put forward by the TRC (backed up by the data that the JPO collected) had no speed limit in the rules at all, and that it was the AMA (safety committee) that decided that regardless of any data you had collected, they intended to have a 200 mph speed limit no matter what.
Am I misunderstanding (the other) Gordon's post ?
