Re: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

It sucks that AMA does not allow more monies for ALL TEAM USA's to compete abroad representing our country. As Junior team manager for the 2000 effort in Greece there was NO AMA SUPPORT for the Juniors at that time and we were fortunate to raise enough $$ to cover all costs for the junior team

Wow.. I came home yesterday to find the biggest box I have ever seen on my door step. Thanks to Brian Chan's post I purchased a Lanier Stinger from Tower Hobbies. Hell, I even got an additional $20 off the already 1/2 off sale price. Should make a great electric tow plane with an Axi 5345/16

Re: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

Joe, AMA doesn't sit behind walls, but they know their bottom line and it is tight these days. Let's face it, if you play, you know the cost, and that being so, anything that defraes that cost is a bonus. The Jr's as well as the Sr's will get lots of support from our community, and that is

[RCSE] Tree story, actually a pipe

In the late 70's/early 80's at one of the early Visalia Fall Soaring Festivals at the high school site, Don Doe (past NCSL Champion) was flying a Paragon on yellow and white, a frequency that was also an emergency CHP channel. Suddenly during a nice flight well above launch height Don lost

Re: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

Joe, if we knew how much $ AMA does supply to support our W/C teams we would probably say wow, that much. That info is probably available from many sources, including the team managers and members. Anybody wish to make that info available ? Meanwhile, Joe, I think your suggestion of a $5.00

I can contribute to this thread. The information is not secret, it is a published document and applies to ALL AMA supported FAI teams and there are quite a few of them, not just F3B/J AND we constitute some of the largest teams. AMA contributes the following to the FAI teams: - $400 to the team

RE: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

Good post about team expenses. Much as I dislike the F3X events, I support our teams and try to make a small donation. (Us retired fliers don't have Gordys resources) I also think all donations should be voluntary.Another problem for AMA is the increased number of teams to be supported

RE: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

Just for grins - here is the FAI teams that the AMA supports and the number of people allowed for each team. They also support the F3J Junior team at the same level, I am not sure about the junior teams in the other events. You can see that the funding commitment for all of this is significant

RE: [RCSE] Winter blues and USA F3J fundraising

When is a tax not a tax. When it is a donation, of course, maybe pushed with a small amount of gentle persuasion. To me this would not be a tax but a priviledge to support our F3J soaring team. And you ? Regards, dave Corven. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send
