<DIV>Add another voice to leaving the NATs the way it is - actually - don't leave it exactly the way it is - get it back to the way it was when we had extra time to account for rain.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If $$$ is the problem, raise the entry fee, and raise it enough to get back the rain day. $$$ for the entry fee is a very small part of the effort to attend the NATs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 1% number has always been amusing.....the actual number of AMA members and models that are of the pattern and IMAC style (or at least heavily influenced) are far greater the number of entrants at the NATs (and local contests for that matter) every year.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The Executive Council is always pressed by sport fliers as to why funds should be spent on less than 1% of the membership to allow for a site for a Nats, as well as the staff support and equipment support required to run these events. The Nats takes up 6 weeks of prime flying time for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Muncie</st1:place></st1:City>.

How do we reduce the number of days required to run the pattern Nats? Do we just increase the entry fee to take care of all of the costs so the sport fliers can then be told that the competition pilots “pay their own way”? Do we (the EC) just ignore them and hope they go away?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
