Flying Rules The 1998 edition of NZMAA Flying Rules have been amended to be current as at 1 December 2000. A full set of amendments to update the hard copy of the Rule Books can be downloaded from here as a PDF file or they may be read as a text file.
Rules are distributed as PDF files. PDF files can be read and printed using 'Acrobat Reader', a programme available for free at http://www.adobe.com/. We highly recommend that you use Acrobat Reader version 4 or above, as backward compatibility problems have been reported by users of earlier versions. In particular, some drawings will not format and display correctly with early versions of Acrobat Reader.
FAI rules are available, also in PDF format, from the FAI download site http://www.fai.org/aeromodelling/documents/sc4.asp
... they have been have been compressed as ZIP files. This allows reduction in their size and therefore your download time. To uncompress ZIP files, you need one of the many "unzip" programmes: such as 'Stuffit Expander', which is available for free at http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/:

Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) is a compact and special language used to electronically distribute print-quality documents. It is platform-independant, meaning that it will look the same on any system that can read it. It is also scalable; you can view a PDF document at any size from 800% down to thumbnail size with excellent fidelity. PDF documents are compressed and can be encrypted and offer the author total control over the layout, distribution and security of the document. To view PDF documents you must first download the free Acrobat Reader that is available at Adobe's Web site (click on the button above) and install it like any other PC application. Then when you download a PDF from here, you will be asked to save it to a convenient place in your directory structure. You then run Acrobat Reader and view the file much like any word-processor.
