repaired.model.aircraft.
3..I.will.not.fly.my.model.aircraft.in.the.presence.of.
spectators.until.I.become.a.proficient.flier,.unless.I.am.

a.frequency-management.agreement..A.frequency-
management.agreement.may.be.an.allocation.of.
frequencies.for.each.site,.a.day-use.agreement.between.
sites,.or.testing.which.determines.that.no.interference.
exists..A.frequency-management.agreement.may.exist.
between.two.or.more.AMA.chartered.clubs,.AMA.
clubs.and.individual.AMA.members,.or.individual.

power,.except.to.divert.it.from.striking.an.individual.
9..Radio-controlled.night.flying.is.limited.to.low-
performance.model.aircraft.(less.than.100.mph)..
The.model.aircraft.must.be.equipped.with.a.lighting.
system.which.clearly.defines.the.aircraft's.attitude.and.
direction.at.all.times.
10..The.operator.of.a.radio-controlled.model.aircraft.shall.
