CONTROL LINE SCALE COMMITTEE ACTIVITY seems good way get major projects implemented past Control Line Scale modelers around country worked together committee some great projects late 1980s group Scale modelers got together worked toward implementation standard Sport Scale Score sheet Score sheet now part CL Sport Scale competition rules early 1 990s CL Scale modelers again got together project now have comprehensive Control Line Scale flight judging guide added AMA 1996-1997 Competition Regulations Once again being suggested group Scale modelers brought together interface Scale Contest Board rules-change proposals latest issue Replica newsletter National Association Scale Aeromodelers NASA President Bob Underwood noted NASA has taken active role rules-change process perhaps its time subject should considered early 1996 NASA Nats committee formed look 1997 Nationals events personnel costs etc Underwood noted consideration might given changing committees name NASA Competition Committee might include other competition concerns would some sort active role rules-making process would seem large number NASA members enough expertise within organization provide assistance event-type basis CL RC FF Scale Board Assisting Scale Board would seem appropriate consists members have varied amounts experience three Scale categories What thoughts Should NASA consider getting involved rules-making process Should committee type Scale event members should committee should committee members chosen What should extent NASA involvement Should NASA able submit rules change proposals Should NASA review rules-change proposals before go Headquarters have thoughts subject am sure Bob Underwood would like hear Send comments Box 40 St Peters MO 63376 can send address top
