• We will be utilizing (2) grass circles for all events- these are the same circles utilized for CLASSIC-OTS events in the past except we have added N-30. The third grass circle (nearest C/L combat area) may be used for practice.
• We plan on having about 8’ diameter non-slip hard surface (3/4” plywood) circle centers on the two competition circles for those that want to use them.
• We will fly the CLASSIC/N-30 event to completion (2 RDS.) on Tues. morning, July 16th, starting at 8:30 AM. Following a short lunch break the OTS (OLD TIME STUNT) event will start. Competitors will switch circles following their first-round flights. Plans are to give out the placement awards following each event.

• Competitors must enter events using first the 2019 AMA NATs Unofficial Entry Form (See
http://nats.modelaircraft.org/nats-forms/) (IF NOT REGISTERED IN AMA OFFICIAL EVENT). You can preregister now with AMA- Send form along with $10.00 unofficial entry fee, or preregister at AMA headquarters front desk when arriving.
• THE EVENT FEE TO ENTER IN CLASSIC/N-30 and OTS IS $15.00 WHETHER YOU ENTER ONE OR TWO EVENTS (PAYABLE TO THE EVENT DIRECTOR OR HIS ASSISTANT WHEN YOU SIGN UP ON-SITE).
EVENT PRE- REGISTRATION ON-SITE:
Competitors may preregister for the events on-site from July 14th, until 8:00 AM (morning of event, July 16th). A registration table will also be set up in the 180 BLDG. during appearance judging on Mon. July 15th, for event preregistration. Also, you may let me know from now until just before leaving for the Nat’s, the events you wish to enter. Contact me via email, Stunt Hanger forum, or phone. It will be very helpful to get all competitors registered prior to Monday evening so that score sheets and flight orders can be established, so our dedicated ladies at the contest table won’t be overwhelmed, and competition can start promptly at 8:30 AM.
• We would like to get individual pics of each pilot with their aircraft to put in “STUNT NEWS”. So, if we happen to miss getting your pic, let Doug or Kathleen Patterson know. We don’t want to miss anyone.
I want to thank all the volunteers, Mark Weiss, Derek Barry, and Dave Trible for their great help! We hope the relatively new format will be less hectic and confusing since there won’t be any crossing back and forth from flying modern pattern to OTS pattern for those flying two events. Let us know what you think.
