        <DIV class=plainMail>Ok, I didn't mean cause a stir but since there's 
        interest in the subject I'm going to take the podium for a moment since 
        I'm in the thick of things as this years Team manager.<BR><BR>First of 
        all… THANK YOU to virtually everyone in our sport because the support we 
        DO get is fantastic.<BR><BR>Some thoughts:<BR><BR>1) I'd like to help 
        the NSRCA form an ongoing team fund raising committee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
        My biggest problem in taking on this role was the feeling that I'm 
        starting from scratch.&nbsp; Rather than have 2 years of planning and 
        fund raising, with established mechanisms for doing so, we start with 
        virtually nothing.&nbsp; I have a LOT of thoughts about this, but too 
        many to go on about here.&nbsp; I'm happy to be a founding member of 
        that committee, but would welcome volunteers to help and work on things 
        in the off year when no team manager exists (the TM&nbsp; is chosen by 
        the team AFTER the selection contest.)<BR><BR>2) I've suggested to the 
        NSRCA to add a check box on dues renewal for contributing a donation to 
        the team.&nbsp; I think this is an easy ask and no pressure<BR><BR>3) 
        The AMA spends more money on the FAI program than you can possible 
        imagine.&nbsp; Our dues to FAI alone are in the hundreds of thousands 
        just to belong.&nbsp; It's nuts.&nbsp; The AMA is more pro competition 
        than their actions would lead you to believe, but at the end of the day, 
        they have bills to pay and have to cater to the masses.<BR><BR>4) A 
        combined Nats / Team selection I personally think is great and has been 
        well executed of late.&nbsp; Cost is virtually zero (so ALL of the entry 
        fees support the team rather than pay for the event) and we see a nice 
        turnout from the best in the world as a result.&nbsp;&nbsp; Per my 
        original post, we just need to make the FAI gang aware that formally 
        participating (i.e. paying the entry fee) is critical to our funding 
        from the AMA.&nbsp; Lowering the team trial fee would go a LONG way 
        toward making that happen, along with some publicity to make everyone 
        aware of the problem.<BR><BR>5) Contest fund raising.&nbsp; I'd love to 
        start a tradition of holding a 50/50 raffle at contests with the 
        proceeds going to the team fund.&nbsp; Each event wouldn't raise a ton, 
        but even $50 across 50 Contests over 2 years would be a $5000 boost and 
        help a ton.<BR><BR>6) Better verbal and purchasing support of those that 
        do sponsor us.&nbsp; It's great to put their logo's on the web site ( 
        www.teamUSAF3A.com&lt;<A href="http://www.teamusaf3a.com/" 
        target=_blank>http://www.teamUSAF3A.com</A>&gt;) but if we don't make it 
        clear that we collectively appreciate their support…well, it will 
        stop.&nbsp; Obviously it's important that we buy from them, but EQUALLY 
        important is simply thanking them!&nbsp; If you see these groups at 
        trade shows (Toledo, Ontario, Ramm, etc) make a comment that you 
        appreciate the support of our niche.&nbsp; It goes a long 
        way.<BR><BR>Last thing I want to share is our budget for this 
        year.&nbsp; I get a lot of comments questioning the amount we're trying 
        to raise…it's not a secret, so let me lay it out.<BR><BR>The team 
        consists of 10 people (4 pilots, 4 callers, a Team Mascot ..er manager, 
        and asst).&nbsp; We'll be in SA for 18 days in total, so that's 
        180/person/days food and lodging.<BR><BR>Airfare Total -&nbsp;

        surprise budget is on the advice of previous team managers for on site 
        issues.&nbsp;&nbsp; As it is I'm scrambling to find locals in SA to help 
        us with generators, chairs, and other items we can't reasonably take 
        with us.<BR><BR>As you can see, when you multiply everything out…it's 
        pricey.&nbsp; And while SA is one of the pricier trips, anywhere in 
        Europe or really the world wouldn't be a lot cheaper.<BR><BR>Mark

        Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Team Selection - was 2013 NATS 
        dates<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; As a 
        side to that.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; We need to have a 
        serious discussion about the team selection and our<BR><BR>&gt; 
        "Official" participation levels.&nbsp; FAI GUYS!!!!&nbsp; We NEED many 
        more of you to<BR><BR>&gt; sign up for the team selection event (be it 
        part of the Nats or otherwise in<BR><BR>&gt; 2014) if we're going to 
        continue to get the same level of funding that we<BR><BR>&gt; get now 
        from the AMA.&nbsp;&nbsp; To do that, I think we need to drastically 
        lower the<BR><BR>&gt; price tag.&nbsp; The price tag ($170) is 
        reminiscent of holding a separate event<BR><BR>&gt; and paying for the 
        judges to come for 4 days and judge.&nbsp;&nbsp; That's no 
        longer<BR><BR>&gt; an expense burden that the selection contest 
        bears.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; The AMA has made 
        "participation" a critical point factor in determining<BR><BR>&gt; the 
        level of financial support that each team receives.&nbsp;&nbsp; We don't 
        get a lot<BR><BR>&gt; of money, but they do pay for the World 
        Championship entry fees ($900<BR><BR>&gt; /pilot, $500 /team manager, 
        $150 /caller ) which is a lot, and they help<BR><BR>&gt; with some of 
        the hotel bill.&nbsp; It's a fraction of what we need, but 
        it's<BR><BR>&gt; still a big help.&nbsp; For this year's WC's it's about 
        $7800 of the $60K we'll<BR><BR>&gt; need.&nbsp; But if we don't increase 
        our participation, we'll lose 
        it.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; This past Nats we had 30+ 
        FAI flyers. but less than 10 participated in<BR><BR>&gt; the team 
        trial..meaning they paid the entry fee.&nbsp; Admittedly, I was one 
        who<BR><BR>&gt; did not.&nbsp; I finished 11th, but that's a far cry 
        from top 3, so spending $170<BR><BR>&gt; "Just to participate" didn't 
        seem like a good value proposition.&nbsp; But if we<BR><BR>&gt; can 
        lower the cost to say $30, or something reasonable, then I 
        would<BR><BR>&gt; participate simply to support the team (that's where 
        the entry fee money<BR><BR>&gt; goes by the way.all of it) especially 
        knowing that it will motivate the AMA<BR><BR>&gt; to continue their 
        funding.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; I'll hammer this home 
        more next year when it's more relevant, but thought<BR><BR>&gt; I'd 
        chime in now :)<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; Please feel free

        Date: Monday, February 25, 2013, 8:44 PM<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; IMAC has 
        been warned. They already lost one day from a few years 
        ago.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; Also, years ago I would've 
        agreed. Today though the AMA has a lot more<BR><BR>&gt; park flyers and 
        sport flyers than any other discipline . Most of my club,<BR><BR>&gt; 
        with 86 members now flies smaller electrics. Many of the younger kids 
        would<BR><BR>&gt; rather fly foamies than anything. Pattern, IMAC, and 
        scale don't do anything<BR><BR>&gt; for them. The younger members are 
        just different. 3D and helis are much more<BR><BR>&gt; exciting to them. 
        Times have changed.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;

        Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] 2013 NATS 
        dates<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; What about IMAC they have 
        less attendance at the NATS than us.&nbsp; With<BR><BR>&gt; their 
        attendance I'm surprised the AMA will even give them a week.&nbsp; Not 
        that<BR><BR>&gt; I'm suggesting they don't deserve a week.&nbsp; One of 
        the issues I have with the<BR><BR>&gt; NATS is that Intermediate and 
        Advanced Pilots and those in MASTERS and FAI<BR><BR>&gt; that don't make 
        the cut don't get any more flights than a regular weekend<BR><BR>&gt; 
        contest.&nbsp; Perhaps more would attend if we offered every pilot 12 
        guaranteed<BR><BR>&gt; flights.&nbsp; That would make it more likely 
        that the west coasters would make<BR><BR>&gt; the long trip to 
        Muncie.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt; 
        No one gets hooked on RC by watching someone fly a park flyer.&nbsp; You 
        get<BR><BR>&gt; hooked by watching someone go crazy with a heli or an 
        IMAC plane or the<BR><BR>&gt; graceful flying of a pattern plane or the 
        speed/wow factor of a jet or the<BR><BR>&gt; roar of a 4 engine 
        B-17.&nbsp; These are all endeavors that are not associated<BR><BR>&gt; 
        with the typical AMA member.&nbsp; If the AMA thinks they can survive 
        without<BR><BR>&gt; these folks then let them try.&nbsp; What these 
        groups need to do is stop<BR><BR>&gt; supporting the AMA with their 
        articles, photos, etc.&nbsp; They'll have nothing<BR><BR>&gt; to draw 
        the attention of new members.&nbsp; AMA membership will never be what 
        it<BR><BR>&gt; used to be because kids now a day are so much busier than 
        they used to be<BR><BR>&gt; and there are so many more thinks competing 
        for their interest.&nbsp; We need to<BR><BR>&gt; find a financially 
        viable solution for both the NSRCA and the AMA not to<BR><BR>&gt; 
        mention all the other SIGS. Without the SIGS there would be no 
        AMA.<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>&gt;&gt;&gt;
