Team Trials

[Gray E Fowler]

Which is why the only reason I read the AMA mag (or any other) is to catch 
up on the latest P-51 ARF, or the latest Chinese built .46 engine, or 
perhaps tips and techniques on how to build your own chicken stick, or 
make hinges outta common household cotton thread (thats a good-er), or a 
review on the best rubber bands for trainers, and of my all time favorite, 
how to un-superglue your fingers.

Hi Tony, Hi All,

Tony, when you said that, "AMA didn't even think it important enough to 
cover in Model Aviation...", something inside me twinged. So I called dear 
friend Bob Hunt(the editor at MA) and asked him if there was to be even 
cursory coverage. Realize that the man I'm talking to is a World Champion 
in Control-Line Aerobatics, and still a competitor ... His voice saddened 
and he told me that the policy at MA is that no team trials are covered, 
lest they all have to be covered. Every time something about competition 
is covered, droves of readers write in to complain. After every December 
issue (the NATs coverage issue) they are barraged with complaints about 
the the waste of magazine space. World championships might get coverage, 
if they happen in the U.S.! The mediocre have censored coverage of 
excellence. Don't hassle Bob, he is one of us!

O.K., for homework, everyone go (re)read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".

Bewildered,
                 Dean Pappas
