I got word from Walt van Gorder today that the rules change proposal I submitted changing the definition of the end of a flight has passed all three of the votes and will go into effect in 2013.

Here is the new wording for the first part of Section 9:

"9. Timing of Flights. Method of timing shall be appropriate to the class of model and required method of launching.

Hand-Launched Classes. Time of flight starts the instant model is launched by hand, and ends when the model touches the floor of the building, or when model jettisons any parts, or when the modeler touches any part of the model other than with a steering pole, balloon or other steering device."

The remainder of the section concerning ROG classes and hang-ups is not changed.
