The 1/32” wire rule had dropped by the wayside, and for good reason. It
makes no sense on a 1.2 gram model!

The rules Vandover sends out for his A-6 Postals state 1/32” wire Max.
Bill, remind us what the TTOMA rules show for wire.

Hi All,
I seem to remember that Clarance Mather at one time said that the 1/32 bit
was printed backwards - it was supposed to be maximum, not minimum and he
felt that bending anything thicker would be very difficult for beginners.

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.
