I never knew that. That's like saying "everybody sport drives so NASCAR
will never be covered nationally ". yeah, right, when pigs fly. Have the
editors of these magazines gone mad?? <br>
<br>
How many times has the point been made in regard to what really drives
advancement in the hobby? Obviously, no one is listening<br>
<br>
This is trully sad; in other words some of the sport and park flyers want us to
be ashamed for flying competitively. What is this all coming to? I say all competitors
unite now and present a unified front<br>

Hi Tony, Hi All,<br>
<br>
Tony, when you said that, "AMA didn't even think it important enough to
cover in Model Aviation...", something inside me twinged. So I called dear
friend Bob Hunt(the editor at MA) and asked him if there was to be even cursory
coverage. Realize that the man I'm talking to is a World Champion in
Control-Line Aerobatics, and still a competitor ... His voice saddened and he
told me that the policy at MA is that no team trials are covered, lest they all
have to be covered. Every time something about competition is covered, droves
of readers write in to complain. After every December issue (the NATs coverage
issue) they are barraged with complaints about the the waste of magazine space.
World championships might get coverage, if they happen in the U.S.! The
mediocre have censored coverage of excellence. Don't hassle Bob, he is one of
us!<br>
<br>
O.K., for homework, everyone go (re)read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit
451".<br>
<br>
Bewildered,<br>
Dean Pappas<br>

Don't bet on it. AMA didn't even think it important enough to cover in<br>
