  … all this talk about Red Bull.  At the 2008 Tampa Bay IMAC contest, the CD had the Red Bull GIRLS come out and delivery free Red Bulls!!!!!!!!!!!  This was the most fantastic interruption (eruption for some) of a model aerobatic contest I’ve ever seen.  Get the Red Bull girls – get more attendance!!! J J J 

  Thanks,
  Jim

        What we need is the Red Bull TV team complete with the puter generated ribbons then we can judge correctly!

        I figure Entry fee will be about 50k per contest assuming 30 pilots. :)

Good point - although computer imposing the box on the screen as well asmaneuver overlays and such might dress it up.  The technical aspects,behind the scenes and in the pits drama might be a draw too.  Indoor F3Pis also very interesting to non-RC folks and the perception that theequipment and flying spaces are more accessible might inspire moreinterest as well.  Lots of facets to R/C sports in general and they allcan serve to promote interest.  IMAC, pylon, heli's, combat... I wonder if the AMA has considered carving out a presence on Youtube forquality sport promoting videos?  Eyeball stats there would go a longway towards convincing ESPN and the like that modeling is worthtelevising as well as providing built-in focus group feedback on what<  SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">people want to see.
