was wrong with the way the AMA ran the event to create a complete boycott of
the nationals in lieu of the NPAC.

does not have much say on how it is run at all.  I will admit that they, at
the very least, listen to our concerns now but the AMA runs the show.

time with other SIGs.  In my opinion, the best way to do that is to increase
the number of Nats competitors in R/C Aerobatics.

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.
