1 Får publiceras på SMFF:s hemsida Till styrelsen för Sveriges Modellflygförbund Modellflygnytts redaktör CIAM:s PLENARMÖTE MARS 2006 Plenarmötet avhölls i det Olympiska museet i Lausanne. För Sveriges Modellflygförbund deltog undertecknad samt Peter Källoff som min ställföreträdare och ledamot i F4- subkommittén. Detta år har jag erhållit synpunkter från friflyg- och linflyggrenen samt AU F3C och F3D inom radioflyggrenen på vilket sätt jag skulle rösta. Beträffande F4 kunde Peter ge mig aktuell vägledning. Sammanställning med röstningsresultat från beslut i ärenden enligt agendan bifogas som bilaga 2. Fredag 24 mars Plenarmötet genomfördes med tekniska möten i F1, F3J, F4, F5, modellraket samt Education. Därutöver hölls ett extrainkallat tekniskt möte i F2 för att kunna lämna rekommendationer på inlämnade förslag samt diskutera åtgärder för att öka säkerheten i F2D. Inom F3D hölls det inget tekniskt möte trots att subkommittéordföranden hade tvingats, i all hast, ta fram ett åtgärdspaket för att förbättra säkerheten. Klockan 1400 inleddes det ordinarie plenarmötet med programpunkter enligt dagordningen samt slutna nomineringar till styrelseposter och ordförande för subkommittéerna. I det fall flera nominerades till en post (och accepterade dessa nomineringar) skedde slutna val. Dessa senare genomfördes under lördagseftermiddagen. Vid röstsammanräkningen visade det sig att 35 länder var representerade, antingen själva eller som proxy för ett annat land.

2 Personvalen blev: Ordförande Sandy Pimenoff omval 1. vice ordförande Dave Brown omval 2. vice ordförande Gerhard Wöbbeking omval 3. vice ordförande Andras Reé omval Sekreterare Massimo Simoli nyval Assistent till sekreterare Hertmud Siegmann nyval Teknisk sekreterare Jo Halman omval FF s/c ordförande Ian Kaynes omval F2 s/c ordförande Laird Jackson omval F3A s/c ordförande Bob Skinner omval F3B/J s/c ordförande Tomas Bartovsky omval F3C s/c ordförande Horace Hagen omval F3D s/c ordförande Robert Brown omval F3A s/c ordförande Bob Skinner omval F4 s/c ordförande Narve Jensen omval F5 s/c ordförande Emil Giezendanner omval Modellraket s/c ordförande Srdjan Pelagic omval Utbildning s/c ordförande Gerhard Wöbbeking omval Utmärkelser Modellflygets Guldmedalj tilldelades Matti Jyllilä, Finland, för en lång gärning bland annat som skaladomare. Alphonse Penaud-diplomet för tävlingsmeriter tilldelades Christophe Paysant le Roux, Frankrike, för mycket fina tävlingsresultat i F3A. Antonovs modellflygdiplom för tekniska innovationer tilldelades Bernard Hunt, Storbritannien, för utveckling av inomhusmodeller. Frank Ehlings diplom, för framstående bedrifter att framhäva kunskap om flygning med modellflyg, tilldelades Andrija Ducak från Serbien & Montenegro. Andrei Tupolevs diplom tilldelades Christopher Callow, Australien, för framstående tävlingsresultat i F3D. Andrei Tupolevs medalj tilldelades Hiroki Ito, Japan, för framstående tävlingsresultat. Världscupvinnare I Per Findahls frånvaro hade jag den stora glädjen och äran att motta medalj och diplom för Per totalseger i Världscupen i klass F1A. Att Per därmed har vunnit Världscupen tre år i rad är en fantastisk bedrift.

3 Lördag 25 mars CIAMs budget Beslutades att anta det av styrelsen utarbetade förslaget till budget för Omsättningen är på totalt EUR. På intäktssidan svarar tävlingssanktioner för EUR. För låg säkerhet i F3D I främst Italien har ledningen i Aeroklubben blivit så orolig över riskerna med F3D-modeller att man har beslutat att det inte ska genomföras några tävlingar i F3D inom landet. Som en följd av detta gav CIAM:s styrelse den 26 december ett uppdrag till Bob Brown, ordförande för subkommittén i F3D, att till plenarmötet komma med ett antal regelförslag i syfte att öka säkerheten inom tävlingsklassen. Detta arbete genomfördes av ett begränsat antal experter inom pylon och ej hela subkommittén. Regelförslagen togs först av CIAM:s styrelse och blev av delegaterna vid plenarmötet kända först under lördagen. Klagomål mot detta förfarande, som är i strid mot Sporting Code, framfördes bland annat av undertecknad. Slutresultatet blev dock att samtliga regelförslag antogs ( tvingades igenom ).

Effective Date of Rule Changes Modify A.12 as follows, move second paragraph to the end and delete the chart: In all classes, the four year rule a period of two years for no changes to model aircraft / space model specifications, manoeuvre schedules and competition rules will be strictly enforced, but in step with the World Championship cycle of each category class. The classes with World Championships in even years will use 2000 as a starting point: the rules decided on in 2000 will be in force in 01, 02, 03, and 04. Any amendments decided on in 04 will be implemented starting in 05, a year before the World Championships in 06, and remain in effect 06, 07, 08, after which a new four year cycle begins. For classes with World Championships in odd years 2001 will be the starting point. The rules may then be amended the next time in 05, to come into effect 06, in the year before the following of a World Championship, and so on any change will become effective the next January. The only exceptions allowed to the four year rule freeze procedure above are genuine and urgent safety matters, indispensable rule clarifications and noise rulings. Under normal circumstances, in step with the four year cycle of rule change procedure, a Technical Meeting will may be held at the Plenary meeting during each year there is a World Championship in that class. category (see chart of the World Championships below). In case of emergency, safety proposals or issues considered urgent by the Subcommittee Chairman, the Chairman is entitled to schedule an interim meeting.

10 All proposals are first to be carefully scrutinised by the Chairmen of the relevant subcommittees who will check them for validity before presenting them to the Bureau. It will be the Chairman s duty to point out any ambiguities or lack of conformity with CIAM requirements in the proposal, as well as any effects it may have on other regulations. Apart from the exceptions stated above below, proposals will only be accepted on Plenary agendas in years for which Technical Meetings are entitled to be held. This shall apply to official classes only. The chart illustrating the four year rule cycle appears on the following page.
