Just returned from Toledo where the RTFC meeting was held. Those in attendance where, John Brodak, Will Hinton, Ted Craver, Charlie Bauer, Ralph Berstine, Dave Platt, myself and three onlookers. We spent two hours going over the rules. The TFRC has been at work since the 2012 Nats by emails, to come up with a list of rules to be addressed at this meeting. Most are ready for writing, one held over for further discussion and Richard Schneider has been given the job to write the rules for "Authentic" scale. (combining the best of Precision, Designer and FAI )
As we clean up and combine our notes we will make them public on this web site. More later.
It was good to talk with Dave Platt and see his new T-34 (2.4) C/L scale model. He will be competing at the Nats this year. And it was great to see an old friend Ralph Bernstine. Hoping to see him at the Nats this year too. Had an interesting conversation with Chuck Snyder on the convention floor. I personally miss competing with Chuck at the Nats, he's a class act.
Remember, "High Static" will be announced and the award given at the NASA banquet Sat. night. Be sure to get your banquet tickets. You wont have to wait till after your first flight Sat. to find out. C/L Scale is NASA too.
Many thanks to all who put in the hours to make this a successful adventure.
Blessings
