<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>There is a proposed changed to the sound check which I feel
makes it more clear and less of a safety issue than the current rule, so I'm in
favor of this. I'd like to get your feedback... the proposed rule is (the
text in yellow is to be deleted and the text in green is the new text):<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>a) 5.1. Organisation of Radio Controlled Aerobatic Contests
United Kingdom<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Amend the 13th paragraph as follows.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>When the contest director/sound steward is satisfied that he
has obtained a reading<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>form the SLM, he will indicate this to the competitor, <span
style='background:yellow'>and the timing device will be reactivated</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='background:yellow'>to start the 8-minute flying
time. </span><span style='background:lime'>and the helper will then proceed to

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='background:lime'>designated take-off area where
he will place the model aircraft on the ground</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='background:lime'>at which point the timing
device will be reactivated to start the 8 minute flying</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='background:lime'>time.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Reason: Safety.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>a) The present system encourages helpers to hurry or even
run with the model from<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>the sound check area to place it in the take off area so
that the pilot can begin his<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>flight for which the 8-minute flying time has already
started.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>b) With the current rule the ready boxes are often placed
too close to the judges and<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>this proposed amendment will stop that.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>c) Additionally, the statement “to start the 8-minute flying
time” is ambiguous, as<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>some of the eight minutes flying time is actually taken up
by the helper carrying the<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>model from the sound check area to the take off area.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note: In the USA (WCh) metal barriers had to be placed
between the judges and<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>sound check area but helpers whilst carrying the model still
had to negotiate round<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>the judges, who were sitting between the sound check area
and take off position.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The sound check was not wind orientated. At Chateauroux
(ECh) the sound check<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>was not wind orientated. In South Africa the method of
timing suggested in this<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>proposal was eventually adopted because of the runway layout
and it was clearly a<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>much safer situation with the helper walking normally to the
take-off area.<o:p></o:p></p>
