Agenda

of the

FAI Aeromodelling Commission meeting

Held in Lausanne, Switzerland

on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 March 2005

 

RESUME OF THE AGENDA

 

VOLUME F2 - CONTROL LINE

Section 4c - Model Aircraft

Part Four - Technical Regulations for Control Line Contests

The F2 Subcommittee has two items referred or remaining from the March 2004

Plenary Meeting of the CIAM. These items have been revised or reversed by the

subcommittee in the interim and will now need to be placed on the Agenda for the

March 2005 Plenary Meeting for approval by vote of the Plenary. The items are:

1) In Volume F2 – Control Line, Section F2B – Aerobatic Model Aircraft, the Plenary

approved delay of voting on a revision of the entire section including the Judges Guide,

which is Annex 4B. The section, beginning with paragraph 4.2.1, is revised. See

ANNEX 11.

Reason: This revision was to be presented at the March 2004 Plenary but discussion

was ongoing and a delay in presentation until the forthcoming March 2005 Plenary was

approved. The revision is now prepared for presentation.

2) In Volume F2 – Control Line, Section F2C, Team Racing, the Plenary approved an

increase in line diameter for both solid and stranded control lines for the event, and

additionally approved a concomitant increase in the pull test. These descriptions occur

in paragraph 4.3.5 b) Control System. As a result of subsequent tests conducted in the

field, both increases have been deemed unsafe, inappropriate to accomplish their

original stated purpose, and unacceptable to control line competitors. In May 2004, the

Bureau agreed to postpone implementation of any change pending Plenary approval of

reversal of the changes. Through a series of discussions and voting by the

subcommittee, both changes have been reversed. Therefore paragraph 4.3.5 b is

unchanged from its present written status in the published 2004 Sporting Code. The

only request of the F2 Subcommittee is for approval of NO CHANGE in paragraph

4.3.5 b.

Reason: As stated above, the original changes were found to be unsafe and

unacceptable.
