The A-6 event is NOT listed in the front of the AMA Rules in what appears to
be a table of contents of sort. All of the other events seem to be listed
with references to the appropriate section further in the rule book. There
is a however a reference to Mini-Stick, though I was not at the time looking
for it
So when I went to the AMA rules, being the A-6 event was not listed in the
table of contents, I did not find them
Thanks for letting me know they are indeed there
Somebody needs to add A-6 to the table of contents section!
Looks to me like the following words need to be appended to para 4 Indoor
Rubber:
A-6-- see section 26
It also looks like the event number (222) should be added to at the
beginning of the section where all others event numbers are listed!
It appears that when A-6 was added in section 26, whoever did so did not
bring it forward to the listing of event numbers and table of contents of
sort
Anywhio, I found them
Thanks

All of the AMA rules are available on their site.

I do not see them as part of the official AMA rules, so I assume they are
some sort of unofficial event?
My search of net did not turn them up anywhere!
Perhaps they are tucked away somewhere that I have not found?
Can someone point me to them, please
For that matter, where are the rules for mini-stick?
Perhaps these too are in that same place that is eluding me?
Thanks

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Help requested by beginning A6 fliers
My son and I fly with the DC Maxecuters. We built an A6 Eenvoudige Zes
and have flown it at our contests at the National Building Museum in
Washington D.C., Cole Field House at the University of Maryland, and under a
47 foot ceiling at a community college.
We are getting flights in the 5 minute and 30 second range. We are using
.048 rubber, about a 12 inch loop, carrying 2500 winds.
We wondered what we should look at next to try to get to the seven minute
mark. Our props are oval, and we have them centered on the spar. We have
been set at 45 degrees. Would going to 60 degrees get us more efficiency and
longer times?
Any help would be appreciated. We dream of the 10 minute flight.
