Mike Mueller said, "Will finding volunteers be difficult? No doubt.  
Can we do it all? I'm pretty confident but it won't be easy and we  
need people to be understanding and flexable."

I think Tony Stillman will agree that, if we could get the country's  
R/C aerobatics pilots to come to an old Navy field on the Gulf Coast  
near Navarre, Florida and perform all the "skill jobs" required to  
run an F3A World Championships, like we did in 1999, I think we can  
handle putting on one in Muncie in 2011.

BTW, CPLR was there in 1999, and it is worth watching him fly.
