Masters 2005 Options

[Henderson,Eric]

Ron,
    I don't mind you or anyone having an opinion on my performance. I did
ask for what you all thought, many times.

I can't for the life of me see where I chastised Troy in my note.

And I still would like an education on where the maneuvers are power-hogs
and extra judging challenges. What did I miss.

Regards,

Eric.

P.S. Are you all aware that the NSRCA is the AMA appointed SIG for pattern?
I believe that certain duties come with that role including proposing
changes.

P.P.S. Even though we had the 45 snap thrown out, by the contest board, in
402 I put it back in the 2005 survey. I was delighted to see that it got
voted in again and it was subsequently submitted by yours truly.

As I wrote the above note I realized it was probably futile. Experience
should have taught me that when someone has a down on you, every one of your
words will be turned around and used back at you.  I think I'll just roll
over, accept my bad, but unfair from where I sit, rap and go off into the
Christian sunset... One day when you learn how sausage is made you might
think differently...Cheerio Chaps.

I try to stay out of this type of discussion and just fly pattern.  That is
why you most likely have never seen my name post here.  I have followed this
list for several years and could not keep quit any longer.  I want to thank
Troy for saying publicly what I feel several people are saying privately.  I
am one of the people who are no longer a current member of the NSRCA but do
fly pattern, attend several contests a year and belong to the AMA.  Troy is
correct.  The goal of the NSRCA is to promote the future of RC Aerobatics.
This is not what I feel has been the focus the last few years.  The last
time the patterns were changed a back room deal was made by the leadership
of the NSRCA to change the membership-approved patterns.  The explanation
was that it had to be done or it would not have passed.  To me this was an
insult to anyone flying in that class that our leadership agreed with.
There are several times on that comments are made on this list stating that
people like myself who do not belong to the NSRCA should have no say in the
future direction.  No wonder people think we feel we are better than
everyone else.
 
I agree with Troy, anyone who belongs to the AMA should be able to present a
set of maneuvers to the AMA for approval.   The current president of the
NSRCA going on a public list chastising this individual for doing this is
wrong.  We need to promote the hobby to new people not promote personal
agendas.  Our local area is also growing like Troy mentions his is.  I can
also tell you that most of them have no idea who the NSRCA is or care.  They
are AMA members who want to fly aerobatics.  Hopefully the NSRCA will soon
return to better times and we can begin to promote the hobby not try to take
it over.  I agree, our future is bright and all the new equipment keeps
making it better.
 
This message is not intended to upset anyone or is it intended to be a
personal attack on anyone.  I hope it does not come across as such.  It is
just my opinion.
 
Ron Williams
