Model Aviation Article Free Flight/Control Line

[MILLER, EDWARD, MGSVC]

We should have all seen this coming I guess. The single biggest problem the modeling community faces is fields or lack there of. The small number of clubs across the country that have invested in their future by purchasing a flying site have done more to insure the future of model aviation than the AMA has ever done IMHO.

Hi All,
There is a lot in that article - I'd suggest all read it as 
well as the comments about it on this list.  Part of the 
point of the article is looking for ways to better
serve the RC sport pilot - the largest group in 
AMA.   Another point is to reduce membership losses 
and gain more participants in model aviation.  

Related to that-   the modeling community (all disciplines) is 
a small group.   That's one of the factors in us loosing flying
fields to soccer, golf courses, etc. as well as the more usual 
loss to residential development.

If juggling coverage in the magazine results in better service
to sport RC pilots, and a rise in modeling participation, then
I'm for it.

Later,  Ron Lockhart
