<P>IMAC attendance was also down at the NAT's last year. Compared to pattern
they had far less participation on a percentage basis of overall membership
than pattern.</P>
<P>Might be that many IMAC mambers don't compete in contest's?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Bill,
<DIV></DIV>>The latest that I have heard is that they have experienced some
drop outs
<DIV></DIV>>after the orginal excitment a few years ago which leaves them
around 800
<DIV></DIV>>members. The IMAC contests up here have been down on attendance
over this
<DIV></DIV>>last year. Tom Wheeler told me that they were tight on money
and could not
<DIV></DIV>>afford to publish a magazine without a loss. That's why they
were pushing
<DIV></DIV>>their on-line issue. Now that they have joined with RC
Excellance magazine,
<DIV></DIV>>their publishing problems my go away. Just my observations. I
still want to
<DIV></DIV>>fly IMAC when I have the time. I have 2 good planes (only
80"w.s. though)
