The 1% number has always been amusing.....the actual number of AMA members 
and models that are of the pattern and IMAC style (or at least heavily 
influenced) are far greater the number of entrants at the NATs (and local contests for 
that matter) every year.


The 1% is also amusing, considering the large number of AMA members who you 
never see and never fly. In my club it is maybe 60%.   What percent of the 
ACTIVE members are competitors?
 
Sounds like education of the sport flyers is needed.  I do my part at our 
local field.   Where does the technology come from that they enjoy, especially 
computer radios?  Competition. Where do they think the large scale airplanes 
they fly came from?  The TOC and competition.  What is the number two read 
section in Model Aviation?  Pattern.  Why?  Technology.  Where did the 3D craze come 
from?  Competition.
