RE: Pilot?
The rules are pretty flexible as long as the CD informs AMA 30days prior and they approve it.
But here are the big ones.....
10% scale of a plane that has flown or could fly in IAC or you are not allowed to compete
3-D lifelike Pilot---1% point reduction if no pilot
instrument panel---1% point reduction if no panel (if no pilot and panel its still a 1% deduction)
The Tucson Aerobatic Shootout (TAS) is as follows
10% scale a must
Pilot ---no pilot, no fly
panel--no panel no fly
Always best to check with your CD before the event
