Out of the woodwork again.
I was 2M CD last year and signed up for the job again this year (unless someone else wants it) because I don't fly 2M any longer and have given away or sold my 2M ships. This gives me an excuse to come to the NAT's early and BS with the fellow flyers and get into the NATs spirit.
I agree that more UNL would be a better use of the time we have to fly for the reason detailed later. I also would love to see Nostalgia and RES have a full day to themselves (guess why) so have campaigned for a one day or no day 2M.
The bottom line is 2M still has a fair following (forced or otherwise) and probably should be NAT's event as much as the others but I think we all feel that the UNL winner of the NAT's is the WINNER OF THE NATS and that event should have priority time wise. Because of the turnout, we normally get fewer rounds in UNL than we do in 2M which is kind of backwards for picking a Champion. (My not be true but at least a majority of the guy's I talk to feel that way. Ask your friends if they would rather take first in 2M or UNL at the NATs.)
Car racing and other sports have "Warm UP" events, like 2M, and these are important to weed out newer drivers to find the few that should progress to the big time. If 2M were this kind of event, things would be different, but it is not. Currently, 2M is treated as an equal to UNL at the NATs and that is what I kind of object to. It should be in the RES, NOS category and be a one day event.
Flame on, I'm back in my hole for awhile.

Subject: [RCSE] Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against 2 Meter.
Hey I don't give a rats patoot if you guys want to fly 2 meter or run loose in the street naked if that makes you feel better. Just don't force me to join in. The only gripe I've got is that the LSF for some inane reason (known only to God and few mortals) sticks 2 meter in the middle of what is otherwise an enjoyable NATS week. THAT'S WHAT SUCKS! Stick it on one end or another and I'll leave quietly. Now you guys can get back to your 2 meter mutual admiration society stuff.
Mark
