<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Kinda like the AMA insurance being voided if you have the
engine crankshaft threads exposed. However, there are COUNTLESS Model
Aviation Magazine covers and inside pictures showing this! </FONT></DIV>

8U</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Last year there was this same discussion on the "8U" list.
Annmarie Cross forwarded an email from Steve Kaluf to that effect. He was very
adamant that this modification would void the AMA insurance. Everyone thought
it was funny because that month's cover of Model Aviation had some glider
guiders with Ducky antennas.

nullifies your insurance.
