I read FAI Sporting Code 2019 for the first time because I had stayed in hospitals for a long time this year and have not done any competition nor record flights.
Now I found one small problem.

Sporting Code Section 4 –Aeromodelling, Volume F1, 2019 Edition,
F1.2.6 Time recorded
---- rounded to the nearest whole seconds to the resulting mean time ----

Sporting Code Section 4 –Aeromodelling, Records, 2019 Edition,
5.1.1.4 Accuracy of Measurement
b) Recorded time is truncated to full seconds

This means that there may be one second difference of times between the competion result and the world record.
Be carefull when you claim a world Open record.

And, ‘comes to rest’ rule is still alive in F1N. If you want to do record flights for F1N, they must be timed by ‘touches to the floor’ method.
I have been expecting the repeal of ‘come to rest’ rule for a long time, but it is still alive. The difference is not small for F1N.
