7) An RC racing event, whether or not an AMA Rule Book event,
is one in which model aircraft compete in flight over a
prescribed course with the objective of finishing the course
faster to determine the winner.
A. In every organized racing event in which contestants,
callers and officials are on the course:
1. All officials, callers and contestants must properly
wear helmets that are OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or
NOCSAE approved or comparable standard while
on the racecourse.
2. All officials will be off the course except for the
starter and their assistant.
3. "On the course" is defined to mean any area beyond
the pilot/staging area where actual flying takes place.
B. I will not fly my model aircraft in any organized racing
event which does not comply with paragraph A above
or which allows models over 20 pounds unless that
competition event is AMA sanctioned.
C. Distance from the pylon to the nearest spectator (line) will
be in accordance with the current Competition Regulations
under the RC Pylon Racing section for the specific event
pending two or three pylon course layout.
