wow. something to consider guys is simply to ignore the sanctioning process. back when i was running the show for a large West Coast scale aerobatic contest series we decided that the easiest way not be bound by the AMA sanction "rules" was simply not to get one. Not a whole lot changed, except that I could have cared less what was going on down the road - including an IMAC event, if someone wanted to do one. site insurance is still in effect, as is modeler protection. but you would completely avoid situations such that are described here.

Ken, I don't disagree with any of your positions. My experience with the AMA and its mouth pieces is to find away around the boulder, rather than trying to move it.
