Default RE: Class C-Restricted?

No it really DOES NOT. Rafael23cc is in error. Class C-Restricted is explained in the Membership Manual but is omitted in the Sanction Procedures of the Rule Book.

Sanction Classification has nothing to do with the type of aircraft, just the people, and the number of events and the awards.

Since you are so smart, then tell me how will I be able to restrict the registration of my fun fly to helicopters only?

Here is what I found on the Membership Manual that prompted me and previous CDs (I took this event over from another CD that had been doing it for over 5 years) to classify it the way it's been classified for the last 12 years.

3.10. Class C. An event with unrestricted entry to AMA members that may
or may not offer awards, or an organized get-together of modelers for
fellowship, mutual interests, and/or goodwill, and may or may not offer a
formal flying competition.
A Class C event may be composed of special
events, fun-fly events, or any combination thereof. A description of these
events and any special safety precautions must be included with the sanction
application. HQ will communicate any suggested additional safety
requirements. The same date and area protection applies as in A contests. If
restricted following the guidelines for Class B events, it should be listed as
“C-restricted.”
3.2. Class B Contest. Entry is restricted to, or preference or priority is given
to, members of a club or clubs; or to an organization affiliated with the
AMA; or to residents of a confined area, such as a city or county.
3.2.1. Entry to a contest may be restricted on an area, club membership, or
invitational basis. It may also be restricted to the members of a particular
industry or service. It is essential, however, that these restrictions be spelled
out in detail on the application for sanction so that the contest coordinator
may decide whether conflicts exist.
For example, an armed forces contest
would not conflict with a civilian contest. Similarly, a manufacturer’s
invitational would not conflict with a club contest. These will be listed as
Class B contests. No protected-drawing-area criteria will be applied to Class
B contests.
So, How else would you restrict the entry to a helicopter ONLY fun fly? Please help me, Another CD and I heve been making this mistake for the last 12 years! And most likely every other CD that fills out an application for for a helicopter only fun fly is making the same mistake.
