<DIV><FONT size=2>The only NATS I have attended was the time it was held at
Olathe, Kansas (1968 or 1969?). At that point the NATS were still able to
be held in less than a month of flying competitions... and all sorts of events
were being flown simultaneously. I was just a kid, with a group of Cub
Scouts, flying in the AMA Delta Dart competition. (because the Cub Scout leaders
arranged for us to go) It was more a field trip to get to see the other
events though.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>There's a "double edged sword" effect of flying many events at
once. You may have to pick and choose which to participate in if you
desire to compete in several different events. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Sure, its nice for the spectators to be able to go from site
to site and see many different aspects of aeromodeling all in one day. But
if you are actually competing in an event such as Pattern... you aren't going to
be doing much spectating until you are done flying.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks, Tony, I was not aware of that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Part of the allure of attending the NATS as a competitor is (was) being
able to observe the other modeling disciplines, such as pylon or CL combat. I
guess it is nice in one way to have the whole site for pattern, but not
having other events going on simultaneously is a bit of a bummer. It
makes it less of a spectator draw.</DIV>

the Pattern Nats as a stand alone event, as we use all three flying sites at
the same time. That could change, by allowing some Control Line
events, but the problem we have with aerobatics is that many times we
over-fly the control line circles from the “<st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Stage</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType

safety issue that we would have to somehow
