<p class="MsoNormal">I think that we forget about other countries and their participation in FAI competition. Although the U.S. has arguably the most amount of pattern fliers, we don''t look at FAI the same way most others do. Most countries look at FAI as
the goal and the only reason to begin flying pattern. All lower classes are just stepping stones to get to that level and are there to support FAI.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are also disassociated with the "World Circuit" simply due to location. Frequently, other countries nationals are attended by many countries due to the proximity to each other. My guess is if we compared the other countries of the
world and interest in FAI to ours, they'd definitely have a leg up. Every 2 years is probably not often enough for many other countries or, at the very least, just right.<o:p></o:p></p>

in his explorations by several benefactors who were willing to take a risk on him, some wanted no payback, others hoped the next idea would be world changing as his AC generator (a.k.a brushless motor) was and that they'd make money back. Others are patrons
of the arts -- I choose to be a patron of the Aeronautical arts known as Pattern Flying, I hope that I'll be capable of flying advanced before I die, but I see no reason our talented athletes like Andrew, Jason, Brett, and Joseph shouldn't get some help from

>> We need to have a serious discussion about the team selection and our "Official" participation levels. FAI GUYS!!!! We NEED many more of you to sign up for the team selection event (be it part of the Nats or otherwise in 2014) if we're going to continue
to get the same level of funding that we get now from the AMA. To do that, I think we need to drastically lower the price tag. The price tag ($170) is reminiscent of holding a separate event and paying for the judges to come for 4 days and judge. That's
no longer an expense burden that the selection contest bears.<br>
>><br>
>> The AMA has made "participation" a critical point factor in determining the level of financial support that each team receives. We don't get a lot of money, but they do pay for the World Championship entry fees ($900 /pilot, $500 /team manager, $150 /caller
) which is a lot, and they help with some of the hotel bill. It's a fraction of what we need, but it's still a big help. For this year's WC's it's about $7800 of the $60K we'll need. But if we don't increase our participation, we'll lose it.<br>
>><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">>> This past Nats we had 30+ FAI flyers… but less than 10 participated in the team trial….meaning they paid the entry fee. Admittedly, I was one who did not. I finished 11th, but that's a far cry from top 3, so
spending $170 "Just to participate" didn't seem like a good value proposition. But if we can lower the cost to say $30, or something reasonable, then I would participate simply to support the team (that's where the entry fee money goes by the way…all of
it) especially knowing that it will motivate the AMA to continue their funding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Pattern, IMAC, and scale don't do anything for them. The younger members are just different. 3D and helis are much more exciting to them. Times have changed.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">>> What about IMAC they have less attendance at the NATS than us. With their attendance I’m surprised the AMA will even give them a week. Not that I’m suggesting they don’t deserve a week. One of the issues I
have with the NATS is that Intermediate and Advanced Pilots and those in MASTERS and FAI that don’t make the cut don’t get any more flights than a regular weekend contest. Perhaps more would attend if we offered every pilot 12 guaranteed flights. That
would make it more likely that the west coasters would make the long trip to Muncie.<br>

>><br>
>><br>
>> No one gets hooked on RC by watching someone fly a park flyer. You get hooked by watching someone go crazy with a heli or an IMAC plane or the graceful flying of a pattern plane or the speed/wow factor of a jet or the roar of a 4 engine B-17. These are
all endeavors that are not associated with the typical AMA member. If the AMA thinks they can survive without these folks then let them try. What these groups need to do is stop supporting the AMA with their articles, photos, etc. They’ll have nothing
to draw the attention of new members. AMA membership will never be what it used to be because kids now a day are so much busier than they used to be and there are so many more thinks competing for their interest. We need to find a financially viable solution
for both the NSRCA and the AMA not to mention all the other SIGS. Without the SIGS there would be no AMA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
