Default RE: quick question


ORIGINAL: Newc

that is not a blanket speed limit.

i believe it only applys to turbine powered aircraft.
You're most likely correct. Don't know why Horace started focusing on turbines, as I will wager that the original poster didn't have turbines in mind when he/she asked the question since a turbine pilot is quite likely to have been briefed on turbine rules as he/she got the requisite waiver.

To get the original poster's question back on what I perceive is the correct track, how about rephrasing it this way...

Is there an AMA speed limit for fixed-wing non-turbine RC or control line planes?
It was not mine or is it yours to judge what the original post," is there a speed limit on the ama?" means or the author's intent. Therefore I answered his question, the first sentence with a subject of turbine airplanes. Not a focus but because speed limits exist only for turbine powered airplanes. There are no speed limits for CL Speed Competition which includes Pulse-Jet models, but if you don't know, a pulse-jet does not constitute a turbine jet.

Then when the Guru of Ignorance injected that the AMA Safety Code did not have such 'rules' I simply showed him where they exist.

RULE: 1: a prescribed guide for conduct or action (2): a legal precept or doctrine e : a regulation or bylaw governing procedure or controlling conduct: an accepted procedure, custom, or habit

Those definitions make the AMA Safety Code a guide for flying model conduct, therefore is adequate for me to consider it a rule of conduct while performing operations of flying a model airplane.

On your turf you can do as you wish. On my turf, stl, the Safety Code -- ALL of it -- applies and as far as you are concerned, it is a bunch of RULES.

So once again for those simply trying to find something to argue; KNOW your sh-t before you try to argue. [>:] Look at STL, he constantly argues about stuff of which he has not the faintest clue. I would think that anyone that gets shot down every time he bellows, would learn to speak with something other than emotion, you know like fact and specifics. Oh well, at least stl keeps us busy laughing!
