Title: Safety alert: See my post in the rules section on Spectra lines
Post by: Larry Renger on July 08, 2011, 11:23:19 PM

I have had very bad results with the AMA recommended Spectra line ends.  After some experimentation, I have a solution that works MUCH better.  Look in the rules section for the info!

Oddly enough, in the rules section.  Do a search on Spectra if all else fails.  R%%%%

If this is such a big safety deal, can it be placed in an area that everybody can see?

I looked through the Rules for Prec Aerobatics but didn't find anything.
Aslo did not find a way at AMA to search for Spectra.
Can oyu supply more like the name of the bad knkots and what might be better or a clearer reference point to locate the article
Thanks

What does AMA membership have anything to do with accessing their rules on their website?

Probably because an assumption was made that this information exists on THIS website. 

Yes, All the AMA literature is available on the AMA website, and no login is needed.  Knowing that it is in the rulebook is very helpful.  Knowing the section will make it easy to find.  Thank you.
