<DIV> I feel that we have so much in common with the IMAC guys. I
really think that we would benefit if we would merge into one group and bring
in the SPA guys too. It's RC aerobatics and 1 group would be more effective
from the standpoint of strength in numbers and eliminating redundancy. If we
would work together we would be much better off. But hey that's just my
opinion. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>george kennie <geobet@gis.net></I></B> wrote:

I had a similar reaction. After all the hype over the last several years
about how Imac is the fastest growing venue of the sport, they had a total
head count of 37??? C'mon, at a Nationals event??????????? As far as
representatives of a SIG, it appears that they had absolutely zero support
people. You can't feel that this is due to some economic condition, as all
these guys seem to have airplanes in the >$7500 category. It also sounds
like they do not have a judging program to certify potential judges, as
there were many complaints regarding unfair scoring awards, resulting in
many pilots realizing that they had been unduly cheated. <BR>The overall
tenor of the entire meet seemed to have a great black pall decend upon
Muncie for the duration of their event with nobody leaving for home with a
good feeling. <BR>This report certainly does not bode well as an encouraging
carrot regarding future attendance. <BR>Their venue appears to require a
super shot in the arm of administrative influx, if they are going to survive
in a manner capable of sustaining any number base. <BR>It's very SAD!!!!!!!!

regarding the Pattern and IMAC nats results and event running in
general? I really enjoyed reading Eric's article. When I read
the IMAC article I thought, "Ed has a lot of courage to describe the event
the way he did." It once again made me think of how lucky we are to
have dedicated individuals running our Nationals & NSRCA. Lots
of times we start threads about what needs to be changed in pattern.
Given some things could be improved; we must overall have a pretty good
formula for getting people involved & trained in judging. The
articles are definitely worth a thorough read!!</FONT></FONT></SPAN>
