RE: What would you do

Since no one knows about the new so called fail-safe BS rule other than the 6 members that were at the meeting when it was voted in, I'm just going to call Every Member that wasen't there and didn't...

RE: What would you do

Actually, they never had it in a newsletter that this fail-safe mandatory rule was even going to be presented at the meeting. 6 members at the meeting out of 35 total members is not a very fair vote...

RE: What would you do? Please read.....

The way They put it is, If your plane goes out of control at least it won't be at full throttle! I'm sure my little 5 lb plane would do a lot less damage than their 37% to 40%er's would but it's ok...

RE: What would you do? Please read.....

Actually, I'll be saving all that money I'd be spending on fail-safes and also $58 for AMA and another $50 for club dues. I have a large field just 3 blocks away from me that I can fly anytime I want...

RE: What would you do? Please read.....

I'm just going to find me another place to fly rather than spend all that extra money I'd have to spend to update all my planes!

RE: What would you do? Please read.....

YES, and most clubs do not make it mandatory to use them on your planes.

No spotters are ever used in this club!

RE: What would you do? Please read.....

They don't like it when smaller...

What would you do if your club made it mandatory for you to have a "fail-safe" gadget on all of your planes? When the club voted on it there were only 6 people at the meeting with 29 other members...
