<P>Gray I wonder if ModelAviation/AMA will accept digital pictures? I f they
will then I can have about 100 with a simple write up for each sent to them
every month. I wonder if that will get their attention? Nothing else seems
to, It looks like they are in bed with the ARF and Park Flyer
manufacturers and are more interested in them than the members in the SIG's
who do most of their work for them .</P>
<P>BTW the other Magazines are the same I havent seen a Pattern design
published in six years, Model Airplane News published a catalogue for plans
available and the best they could do was Doc Brook's Crusader and a Quick
Fly among a few others of the same ventage.</P>
<P>The Bucks Talk and all we can do is Squawk.Seems like AMA is starting to
act like the Fedral Government.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>What gives?......It is the GOD syndrome. (Good Ole Days). The
AMA started
<DIV></DIV>>with FF and CL and everyone knows that FF and CL are much
better and more
<DIV></DIV>>pure than RC just like analog recordings sound better and are
"warmer"
<DIV></DIV>>than digital recordings.
<DIV></DIV>>Personally I always considered MA a FF-CL magazine.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>What we need to do as a SIG is send in 25-50 photos of
pattern planes, all
<DIV></DIV>>at the same time for that section up front that always shows
what the AMA
<DIV></DIV>>membership is building, which somehow always ends up being a
P-51, a
<DIV></DIV>>Spitfire,an Extra 300 or some dorky-weird-flying trashcan or
some such.
<DIV></DIV>>We also need to include a write up about the plane that is
identical such
<DIV></DIV>>as, "Pattern saved my life".
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>So who is with me? I have two photos to send in right now,
need 48
<DIV></DIV>>more-everyone send it in December.

<DIV></DIV>>Ok, have you all read the latest Model Aviation editorial
about how the
<DIV></DIV>>free
<DIV></DIV>>flight and control line folks constitute 10% of all modelers
and thus
<DIV></DIV>>should
<DIV></DIV>>get increased attention in the magazine and other SIGs
(including
<DIV></DIV>>precision
<DIV></DIV>>aerobatics) will have to give up monthly columns to bimonthly
ones. I
<DIV></DIV>>belong to three clubs with approximately 80, 120, and 160
members. Very
<DIV></DIV>>few
<DIV></DIV>>may have a free flight glider/plane but have never flown it
at the field,
<DIV></DIV>>same goes for control line. If you look at their NATs the
same names
<DIV></DIV>>appear in most of the categories and even then the whole
listing of names
<DIV></DIV>>is
<DIV></DIV>>shorter than the Masters list form the pattern NATs.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>What gives .............................. ??
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>my $0.02 for today
