There are 2 rules proposals about to be voted on. Would anyone like to
debate the pros and cons of these proposals?

Here is the text of the proposals:

IND-07-1 – 14. Cabin Model for Event 204. A Cabin model has a
built-up, enclosed fuselage. The total maximum cross-section of the
fuselage(s) must not be less than 6 square inches. In cases of doubt,
the contestant shall present a full-size drawing of the maximum
cross-section. The drawing shall be ruled into half inch squares.
The fuselage(s) shall have not less than 90 percent of its/their
surface area covered. Outriggers and booms may be used. The rubber
used for motive power shall be contained entirely within the built-up
fuselage(s). The maximum cross-section must be taken at some point on
the fuselage which contains the rubber motor(s). A rolled tube used
as part of an indoor cabin model fuselage shall not be considered to
be a built-up structure. When a rolled tube is used as part of the
cabin model fuselage, the balsa shall not be considered to be
covering. When a covered superstructure is used to fulfill the cross
section requirements above, the superstructure must entirely enclose
the rubber motor.

Submitted by: Anthony D'Alessandro, AMA #1316

IND-07-2 – Event 221

Change: "Scoring shall be based on the duration of the best single
flight of three (3) attempts" to "Scoring shall be the longest of not
more than five (5) official flights. An official flight is defined by
Section 7 of the Free Flight Indoor Rubber rules.
