RE: AMA Spinner Ruling
Right J_R...
Prove it wrong.
I pointed you to: the AMA regs that specify the rounded nut or spinner being required... which are also the AMA docs that say there is such a thing as an AMA Safety Nut... and a web site to BUY an AMA Safety nut.
You just said I was wrong and provided no proof.
I think all you did is prove yourself to be a jackass
You want to contact the AMA D-VIII Education coordinators and ASK them if they remember telling a guy to not fly a 4*40 without a spinner? Thier e-mail address is on the AMA Dist-VIII website.
Here's the story:
I was flying the 4*40, mostly practiceing touch-n-goes (to try to cure my landings...) I had a bad landing which snapped the prop. (which was VERY typical for me at the time... thats why I used "Propbreaker" for a username, I broke the prop almost every flight.)
I noted the spinner was cracked while changing the prop... so I was simply leaving it off when up walks "Mr Education" and tells me I can't fly without the spinner.
I asked why not? and he said it was against AMA safety code.
I asked him to show me where. He responded by getting "Mrs Education" involved... and she said that because I had ONCE flown the 4* on a club combat round... it forever needed the safety nut or spinner.
There is no place that says that an airplane once flown in a competition must forever meet the competition's rules.
The club safety officer had no problem with me flying the model without the spinner... The club president had no problem with it...
ONLY "Mr and Mrs Education" had a problem. (They had a problem with being proven wrong...)
They were FULL OF BS....
Just like J_R.
