Airframes will be inspected before racing to insure the control
surfaces, motor, battery, speed control, etc., are all in compliance with these
rules. If it is suspected that an
airframe and/or power system is not within limits, the plane may be subjected to
further inspection. If the plane is
found to be out of compliance, any points earned for the event will be forfeited
and the pilot will be disqualified for the event.
