get Ron some<BR>smelling salts quick!), just for FAI team selection needs. I
have seen a<BR>lot of that over the years. A team trials has a marked effect
upon judge<BR>selection and the payment of the extra judges who come in for
the FAI<BR>selection component. It already has spilled over into the social
side of the<BR>Nat's where our banquet is now on a Tuesday night so that FAI

puts a lot onto the Nat's event director and invariably the other<BR>classes
experience some neglect. I also wonder if it wise to have the same<BR>guy
running the Nat's and the team trials, especially when the some of the<BR>top
FAI pilots are sponsored directly of indirectly by the same
individual.<BR><BR>I would be much happier if the FAI team selection was not
run by the AMA<BR>Nat's event director. I would also like to keep the Nat's
for the majority<BR>who come for the
