Bill,
The rules on the plans say tissue. So does one of the articles.
For me the current issue is wheather to make A6 an AMA event using rules that have been universally followed for at least the last 10 years or should we make it an AMA event with rules that have not been used at all at any event ever! It is also important to note that although there is a lot of discussion about plastic pags, that is not the option we are voting on. The question is No or Yes on allowing any plastic covering.

Steve:
Thanks for sharing this document!
Some interesting points about these original rules:
There is no specification for the covering other than the first line that says "no special indoor materials". So a purist definition of an A6 would allow grocery store bags or anything else that wasn't a "special indoor material".
The requirement for a 1/32" prop shaft has been ignored for as long as I've known about A6.
A Harlan bearing like I use could definitely be called a "special indoor material".
And Gary:
As I posted somewhere else (I think) I had 80 mg left for a tailboom on my A6 so that's what my 10" boom weighs. It's really scary to see in action but except for breaking 7 or 8 times it has worked really well.
