Proposed RC Airplane Rule Change - comments due March 7, 2010

Please see linked notice of proposed rule change at the Marymoor R/C field.

In summary, Parks and the Marymoor R/C Club board are looking at two rule changes in order to improve user compliance with existing R/C field rules and to limit the noise level from the field:

  1. All internal combustion powered model aircraft must be certified as conforming to a 90dBA noise limit. The Marymoor R/C Club, on a scheduled basis, will do noise testing at the Marymoor Park R/C facility.
  2. All R/C modelers using the Marymoor Park model flying facility will be required to have current membership in the Marymoor R/C Club in addition to the existing requirement of a current AMA Open Class membership. 

This notice will be posted at the Marymoor R/C field and several nearby hobby shops and emailed to the R/C Club members.  

I am accepting comment on this proposal through March 7.

If, after review of public comment the changes are approved, they will be phased in over the Summer of 2010.   

Thank you.
