<DIV>While the topic of a 'Roving Nats' has been discussed here and in most
NSRCA Districts, to bring everyone up to speed, here is the general idea.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The AMA National site is intended to be a USA central site offering a
premier flying environment for all aspects of radio control aircraft
flying. It is certainly a site that satisfies most of it's intent.
However, it also located in such a place that traveling there creates a hardship
for some. We felt that hardship might preclude some pattern members from
traveling to and participating in the Nats. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the past, the Nats rotated around the US to sites, often a military base
or some similar site with adequate facilities. However, locating a site,
preparing for the Nats and administering everything that has to be done for a
Nats was different each time the Nats moved. A royal headache for those
concerned.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The NSRCA officers (and others) had discussed the idea of a roving Nats for
pattern and we began to investigate the possibilities.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Without going into a lot of details, 2 meetings were held to discuss this
with NSRCA representation from around the US and it was concluded that a
modified approach or using a roving pattern Nats on alternatiing years with
every other pattern Nats being held at Muncie would give a host site for the non
Muncie based Nats a 2 year window to prepare for the event. Also, we could
rotate it in a East Central, South central and </DIV>
<DIV>West Central schedule to give ample opportunity for regions to host as well
as minimizing travel impacts to everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At that point, it became a financial study to understand AMA/NSRCA
financial incentives or impacts. That is where it stands today. I
have not pushed it any further.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are reasons for it not moving forward, however, they are not
important here. I take accountability for it not moving past the financial
stage. If you need to yell at someone, be angry, or find a guilty party,
point it right here.</DIV>
