Well sure, they shouldn't have a problem giving up their flying site for
whole month.
Seeing how Indiana has a nice and warm year 'round flying season, an
entire month shouldn't be an issue at all.

Are there really that many pilots in Muncie that they can't spare a
month out of the year for competition? And one issue a year about
competition shouldn't be such a big deal. How are people going to
learn about it and become interested? I guess it won't be long before
AMA becomes the AEA (All Electric Association), like many of the
soaring clubs. Heck, the majority of the soaring pilots in our area
don't even want to have a club. They just get together at a field and
fly, no club, no dues, no contests, no hassle.

Subject: Re: [RCSE] Nats Issue and AMA ED
That's not what I heard from the editor of the mag. I heard that the
AMA received numerous letters from members that were tired of seeing
an entire issue about competition. There is a similar issue with
members not liking the AMA facilities and grounds being used for an
entire month for competition which they supposedly received letters
about. So a number of days was cut from Nats this year.
So in one year we almost lost a day at Nats, but shifted to starting
on Friday to keep all the dates and we have lost the magazine
coverage for the Nats.
It seems a growing number of modelers are not interested in contest
flying.
I think that's unfortunate because that's my favorite part about
soaring. And the Nats issue was my favorite issue for the entire
year, now it's just a Christmas catalog of advertisements.

Just for the record,
from what I know, it was the Model Aviation staff that generated
this idea,
not AMA staff.
