So basically, they are turning into what they despised being thought of a decade ago.  An insurance company and a government lobby.  No longer an organization to promote and foster the hobby of model aircraft...  Shame.

We also used to have NPAC.  Now, we have to do what we can within the framework of the AMA and their time restraints.  It is very unfortunate.

I completely agree Ron but those days are gone. The AMA is no longer focused on competition like it used to be

I know that "suck" and "blow" are opposites, but that situation both "sucks" and "blows".  We used to have a designated "checkin/practice" day and a "rain" day.

Mike,

The AMA has shortened the total NATS period this year, so you read that correct. Fortunately, our actual flying days were not changed.  Soaring went from 13 days to 6 days this year. In previous years, it was never truly our day, but it worked out that way as a day of setup for the workers.  We have never had a true practice day, but since the sites were free, they were available.  Sites 1 and 4 may be available, but that remains to be seen.  Once Pylon is done then we will be able to use the sites.  Think of it as how the others sites have worked on Saturdays in previous years.

I have a question too.
 On the AMA site they show RC Pylon still being there on the Sunday the 21st. If that's the case will it stop us from practicing on that day? Thanks, Mike

I sent a message on facebook, but here is my quesiton again via "real" email . . .  .

Am I set to work site 1 again this year?  I am not going to try and compete and work as I did last year, it did not work out very well.

Thanks.

Just settled dates here at the NATS planning meeting. The official dates are now set and I want to get it out early.

July 21-25.
Check-In is July 21.
Intermediate & Advanced flying July 22-24
Masters and FAI Prelims July 22-24
Masters & FAI finals July 25

Fees are the same as last year.
Early entry deadline:  June 24
Late deadline: July 8

Fees will once again double after June 24. Refunds can be issued up to 24 hours prior to start, minus the AMA part,  so if you register early and have to change, you can get your NSRCA fees back.

Will update with more information later, but wanted to get the dates out for planning purposes.

Arch
