Hi All
I've just started a frame up on my RF86 FC and of course this falls under the GCS's D.6.b) and c) in the FCS (page 53, crushable nose structure and side panel intrusion protection). FF rules apply to FC in this instance.
I have a nose box from an RF88 FF and I'm trying to decide whether or not it's legal.
What's the interpretation of "minimum cross section of ... 31 sq. inches" mean? Cross section which way? From the front?
Is that a total frontal cross section at the widest part? Or at the front panel of the box?
Thanks!
