I'm your current 2M National Champion. That's why I can say, "Because 2 Meters SUCK!" Only reason I fly 2M in Muncie, is because it's held in the middle of the week. What the heck else are ya gonna do in Muncie, IN. for 2 days? ;-) Mike S and I almost blew off 2M this year to take the Lancair to

We have Jeff saying "Friends don't let friends fly 2M" and Howard heralding the death or exclusion of 2M from the Nats. Why is this? I am just curious, and have no vested interest since my primary plane is 115" Marauder RES, why we no longer have the Open class and folks want to get rid of 2M?

I only have one issue with the MOM format as it currently scored. I'll actually look around to see who is in my flight group to see if I have to nail the time or just a shoot a landing. I've won many flight groups, where everybody makes their times, and still been 2-3 seconds off. This makes it a l

John -   For me, 3 days of unlimited TD on a nice piece of sod would be the best. MOM for sure. Find a CD who will keep things moving, and vary the task times to keep the pilots on their toes. 10 ft landing tapes are fine, over 3 days of flying the scores will sort without resorting to crazy

This is not going to be popular with all you 2m fans out there, but here goes... Drop 2m at Nats and fly 4 days straight of MoM unlimited, with flexible long task times appropriate for the time of day or weather at hand. P.S. I've invested in a new 2m for Nats this year, so don't accuse me of
