In the FAI Sporting code, 4, Vol F1, point 3.4.7 a) under "Steering", second
sentence, write: " ...all steering shall be done from the front end
of the model and never from behind."

At European Championship hold in Belgrade in August this regulation was
explained so that steering was permissible from front edge of wing, and
front edge of stabilizer. This will be also at WCh next year in Belgrade.

At Belgrade Indoor Open was very much steering with balloons, so in one
moment one ask me: Is that competition of balloons or models? That was very
interesting, in the hall 3 of Belgrade faire of 22m high are 12-15 models
flown together, with maybe 10 balloons (plastic and rubber). It was very
noisy (at 35-37 deg C). At ECh was quiet ...
