Without muddying the subject by tying 2-Meter to Nats, there has to be a
class to draw new fliers. It's one thing to say the class wouldn't
entice the elite to travel for an event, but it's closing the door on
new fliers to say they're worthless.
How many new pilots show up at the field with an
Thanks Brent. We try to give our new flyers the attention they want and
help them have fun.
It's exciting to get someone hooked on our sport.

Hey now,
O.k. so I find most of this thread funny.
I fly a beat old Ruby, a two mmeter Saphire, it flys fine, catches
thermals even whebn some open class models are scratching, fits in mu old
Porsche, and I can slope it at any local hill, unlike most open class
models. 2 meter doesn't just
Edgar,
You just gave me an idea for flying 2 meter. I have a number of hand launch
planes just sitting around, including my original Photon. It's good looking
enough to qualify. Let's see, a little tape on tow hook, a baby sized skeg
and voila, I've got an 11 ounce (undersized) 2 meter.

WMSS (formerly the GVRC) has had a Two Meter Championships for over 25
years. This Summer it is on August 20-21 near Grand Rapids Michigan. It
has always been a MON on Man event. It inspired the Nats MOM format. Just
ask Jim Thomas or Mike Stump.

just don't get.
Thanks

I've sat here on the sidelines for what, 4 years now, watching sporadic

We still fly 2-Meter here in Dayton, prior to our unlimited club
contests... Mostly we do it to humor Jerry; he just loves that 2M Super
V. Really, it's scary.
Is it 5 yet?

Well hell no...
To make it even more fun the right plane on hand helps. The weapon of
choice has to be a Lawicki 2meter Duck... out floats, out launch, out
land all (except for Darrel's.. dam what ever he flies).

The annual 2m discussion time on RCSE. Lots of good TD pilots, just can't
afford to buy the molded and composite gliders flown by the 'extra good'
glider pilots. I know at least that is the case in Australia. We have a
very successful 2m TD comp series here, which is well attended and a lot of
13 matches
