Default RE: Can the poor opinion of AMA be changed and how??

Ok heres a good one for you all.What about the weight rule?Why does the AMA still go with a outdated weight rule.You can fly a over the limit plane with a inspection in front of a crowd butt......... You can't fly the same plane in a contest in front of normaly a smaller crowd.That one has killed me for years.THe idea about changing who can run for office is a great one.-Mike
Seems simple enough. The weight limit in the Safety Code is conformal to defining terms of what a model airplane is that have been agreed to by an international civil aviation agency the USA is party to. The weight limit(s) that apply in contests are in the AMA (or FAI) competition rules, set according to a democratic process by the competitors themselves.
