Amen Josh,
Indoor is a competitive venture. A fun fly should not be part of the rule book, nor need sanctioning. Interestingly enough, it was not until recently that the P18 "rules" specified a fun fly.

If you want a participation event, by all means sponsor it and work to drum up participation, but it has absolutely no place in the AMA rulebook. The R/C sections of that document have several such events, yet they still include rules which ensure that a winner emerges in the competition. None of those events actually get flown anymore. They were pushed through with great enthusiasm just like P-18 and then died shortly after being ratified. Many R/C clubs have monthly contests, and the solution to "leveling" the field is to make up rules on the spot or the night before for whatever the contest goal is. The events are designed such that the majority of the models present are eligible. You'll not find a single one of those events in a rulebook anywhere, nor should you.
