Charlie Bauer asked a very good question when we meet at the Toledo Expo last weekend. Can you have a proxy pilot in all C/L scale events? I called Richard Scheider and this is the answer according to the present AMA rules. Yes you can.
First, proxy flying. According to the General Information part of the AMA Competition Regulations, on page 15, item 8, proxy flying is allowed for, among other events, CL Scale. The
CD must be convinced of the physical inability of the builder to fly the model himself. But, the builder must be present, absence is not considered a physical disability.
This will keep those who are unable to fly their aircraft at contest, involved in modeling. I don't know who thought this rule up, but I applaud them. This is a good rule. Thanks for your help Richard.
Blessings
