Default AMA & Giant Scale
Why does the AMA not have any rules of safety governing the starting of giant scale (.90 and above engines)? I have seen guys not even use a helper. DANGEROUS!! to say the least. I apporach a guy one time about this very thing and his answer was "don't see anything in the safety rules that says I have to have a helper"
I am not a BIG supporter of lots of rules, but guys....not having someone help you hold a 2-15 hp airplane is crazy. But I can't find any AMA or IMAA rules of safety that deals with this subject. SO am I just being too careful or picky? Anyone know of a list somewhere that deals with this subject ?
