gaRCfield,
How many pilots were there? You know that if you place first, second, or third and score above at least four other fliers you have to move on to intermediate at the end of the year.
Nathan,
This has recently changed...Reference AMA final vote for RCA-09-1 "passed"...Here is the link:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/...erobatics.aspx
The proposal read:
"8.2 […] A flier must move out of Sportsman class at the end of the calendar year of his/her second or subsequent year of participation if he/she places first or second and above at least 4 other fliers (having recorded an official flight) in any sanctioned pattern contest."
This should be effective starting 2009...Those competing this year will not be required to advance in 2009 unless they want to...
