Aurel and others,
I emailed Ian Kaynes, the chair of the Free Flight Technical committee, to ask about the vote detail for the Free Flight Technical committee (7 to 3 in favor) as the FFT Committee vote was to make a favorable recommendation for the F1D rule change to the CIAM Plenary. Ian Kaynes emailed back that he did not record the countries voting for or against as this was time consuming and only the vote numbers were needed. I replied asking that if he had any recollection of the three countries voting against the rule change or how the countries voted in the Plenary meeting, could he please email back with such recollections. I have not yet received a reply to that question so I suspect he does not have such recollections.
Andras Ree was at the Free Flight Technical meeting. Perhaps he can fill us in on the vote detail for the Free Flight Technical Committee meeting and the Plenary meeting that followed.
Please note that of the ten countries represented at the FFTM, six countries had entrants in the recent 2014 Indoor World Championships at Slanic. At least three of those countries must have voted in favor of the F1D rules changes. Also note that the technical representatives to the FFT Committee have no obligation, as explicitly stated in the FAI Sporting Regulations, to vote as instructed by their National Aeromodeling Committee. These experts are allowed to vote as their expertise directs them. The recommendations of the FFT Committee have great weight with the CIAM Plenary. Ian Kaynes has informed me that if the vote in the FFTM is unanimous, the Plenary usually follows the FFT Committee's votes without a formal vote of the Plenary.
