Time for the MAAC Gomery inquiry.

Chuck there were more than a few things that were not as per the scale rule book as posted on the MAAC web site. The ten minute rule you used from wheels up was totaly wrong. If you had familiarized yourself with the rule book it states the ten minutes is from the time you start to crank your engine.
Times - Max. 10 min. per flight. (plus 1 min. per extra engine)
Model released for flight in 5 min. (plus 1 min. per extra engine)
Time starts on cranking engine.
Canadian RC Scale Rules Section 2
As far as moving pilots to the back and giving them a second chance this voids any rule as to the time constraint imposed as an official contest and there is no provision for this anywhere in the MAAC Scale Rules period.
Dan Kalopos was one of those with a prop plane who was turned back from the first round and after asking he was told there would be no second chance at a first attempt as this was clearly stated as such in the rule book. Only after your buddy from Robarts had a flame out with his jet did the rule change. He also took longer than the regulation 5 min from the time of first cranking his turbine till the flame out and aborted attempt. Mulligans or the allowing of a pilot and aircraft to rotate to the back of the field when they cannot answer the call has never been part of any Canadian Scale contest I have witnessed. The last two that were held in Tillsonburg there was nothing like that allowed.

Dennis PLEASE give it a rest I am tired of your soap boxing, You said it all before many times. (Mr McGrath reaps what he sows (ask Barb Shaw)).
I am totaly embarrassed for our friends who came to this great event and are being constantly slammed by a very few people. If they never came back again I would not blame them.
If you guys are wondering what Dennis alludes to is the fact that I had a private party at my house for my friends and neither he nor McGrath were invited. And before things start it was a PRIVATE party funded totaly by myself and my wife for our friends. I could only host a small number so the list had be kept to a minimum.
