Well, ironically, that's exactly how i started at the Nats, with that exact airplane. Got me involved -- between flying rounds, I ran the turnarounds for years, got the Spirit of Soaring Award in '97 that I was pleased to receive from Mike Stump, and share with Jim Deck,then E.D'd the whole

Well, ironically, that's exactly how i started at the Nats
Kind of like asking pattern to have a trainer 40 class at the
NATS,... That is exactly what AMA does. AMA events include many
that can be described as novice (entry-level) classes, and many of
those are included in the NATS (e.g. Formula 40 speed, Sport speed,
Profile Carrier Slow Combat).
I suspect we would not harm the 2M class at the Nats with only one day
of flying and would certainly enhance the flying time for NOS and RES.
I kinda like this idea.
There seems to be a broad spectrum of opinion about 2M and other classes.
Sounds like high end competition
I'll again note that I don't see many newbies showing up at the field with a
3M full house moldie. But I do see them come out with a 2M TD or 1.8M speed
400. So let's play to the strength of that distribution.
And how many Newbies show up at the NATS to fly 2M with their GP Spirits??
