Hi everyone,
That second proposal is a real humdinger. Using the two-year averages based on registration data from the AMA website for 2014 through 2017 the only indoor event that would be left would be LPP with ministick and SCG as provisional…
And if someone pays their entry fee, takes a week off from work, drives 600 miles to the Nats, and gets a hotel room - is a “participation award” really that bad? I’m still relatively new to all of this but I don’t think this would be a beneficial change for indoor at all.

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] AMA General Rules Proposals that will affect AMA Indoor
Dear Indoor Community,
I want to point out to the indoor community two AMA general rule proposals that will have a direct effect AMA indoor records and AMA Indoor events.
Both proposals are listed here.
http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/ruleproposals/indoorff.aspx
These are listed under Indoor as they are changes to the AMA general rules which apply to all models so Indoor is included.
IFF 19-01
This will eliminate allowing one flight to set two national records at one time. As a Junior I set records with one flight with a model fitting two classes, such as EZB and Int Stick, 65cm F1D and Hand Launch Stick. This practice would no longer be allowed. Only one class record could be flown for at a time.
IFF 19-02
This will take AMA events that do not received 10 entries at the Indoor Nats during a 2 year rules cycle and reduce those events from official AMA events to AMA "provisional" status which means national records are no longer kept. After two more years, if still below 10 entries then the event is deleted from the rule book.
I feel these are important proposals that must be reviewed by the Indoor community before the March 15, 2018 rules proposal deadline. .
