Buzzard Droppings November 2005
Text Box: # Text Box: Howdy guys, As you renew your AMA membership for 2006, you might want to check out the new National Model Aircraft Safety Code that will be effective on January 1st. You can access it from the internet, too, here: http://www.modelaircraft.org/PDF-files/105.pdf . Just wanted to point out that it specifically states that children under the age of six (6) are only allowed on an flight line or in a flight area as a pilot or while under flight instruction. Having a spotter to watch for safety concerns is always a good idea. There are also specialized supplemental safety codes for radio control combat, general radio control racing, giant scale radio control racing, and gas turbine operation. Safety is no accident as they say… Be aware of the rules and have fun! Randy Turner. Safety Officer
