this would only affect a small ammount of people who would have to spend this much anyway on nimh's and lipos, instead of only having two sets of lipos, instead of two sets of cheaper lipos, and 4-5 sets of nimhs, which need replacing more often anyway.

One step closer, SMD don't have any in stock at the mo', but will be sorting it.

[sldmodels]

Still looking for people to second or propose changes to the the rules I've suggested.

[sldmodels]

mmm, think my proposed rule change about the transmitter bins might have a seconder now.

[Northy]

Is this the "only tranny compound for the 27MHz and 40MHz users" suggestion?

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the clubs running the event to have the tranny compound in a secure area and large enough? We seem to manage fine in 10th.....

There was an issue at Sundays Micro National G that the Tranny Compound wasn't huge due to space restrictions and there was a danger transmitters could be knocked and fall about 3 foot.

[Northy]

Does that really need a rule? Can't it be a provision of holding a National that the tranny compound is suitable?

[Jonesy]

You're probably right but it may be better as a rule so it is adhered too and to give something extra that people can moan about.......!!!

In all fairness I've only done 1 Micro National so far so it'll be unfair for me to compare them to 16 years of 10th Nationals.

[frogger]

Whether it's worked for years in 10th scale or not has nothing to do with it. Technology has moved on and there is no reason for 2.4ghz transmitters to be left in the compound (other than for the period during which the person has to do their marshalling). It's one of those things that has the potential to create far more of a problem than what it actually solves (if it even solves anything as there were still at least one person I know of that experienced interference issues on Sunday even with all the trannys in the compound).

G - We are not blessed with hundreds of venues applying for Nationals every year, so no, making it a requirement probably wouldnt be a good idea.

Live in London but originally from South Africa. I work for an American company too and spend far too much time there, it obviously shows

I think they're needs to be a better way of submitting proposals too, and I don't just mean to the micro section, but generally. At the min it can be very cliquey.

I'm not quite sure how it would need to be worded, but an idea would be for someone to submit the proposed rule change onto the relevant forum and have a voting option with it. This would simply be to second, or third the motion, so it could then be put to the relevant egm / agm, and the refinements that nine times out of ten need to take place can be done before you get to the meeting.

[sldmodels]

Frogger, I proposed the same rule change weeks ago that you've proposed on the micro forum, and you rubbished it at the time.

[DCM]

Sorry, but when you propose a rule change, then you vote on that wording, not dicuss the wording at the meeting, but also be prepared to explain your rule change and why you think it is a good idea for your section. Proposing it on a forum is just there to allow people to shoot it down. All fare and well discussing thoughts, but once you have a proposal, and someone willing to second it, it should be sent to the Committee, a set number of weeks before the AGM, and then voted on at the AGM.

Forums are great for desk jockey racers.

[sldmodels]

DCM - I've nothing against discussing the proposal at the EGM / AGM, but if you can sort out the finer points beforehand, then it all helps as far as I can see. I wasn't suggesting replacing the AGM with a forum.
