I don't understand the need to micro-manage.

Entrench the basic rules that are easily and universally applied..........ie:range check at the beginning of each day and keep the airplane in front of you.

Allow the clubs to set their own restrictions related to their field as is needed and keep a record ..............as was done in the past. MAAC's recent rule changes/additions, particularly those that use undefined terminology, such as "3D flying" & "certified demo pilots" and designated heights restricting certain types of flying, is stupid. It only opens the door for liberal interpretations of these terms and restrictions, which will bite everyone.

Ken makes a good point about the fencing restricting vison. Being able to see you plane is the most important safety factor and when it's retricted by "safety".................?

We should be working to reverse many of these new restrictions as many are local problems that someone felt needed national attention, instead of dealing with the problem as it arose. I'd be curious to see membership numbers and club numbers compared over tha past few years and see what/if any difference there is.

........somebody else contact HQ for the info, I'm sure they are tired of hearing from me.
