The AMA is mailing a hardcopy of this note to folks who have previously participated in the Control Line Scale Nationals. Regular updates like this will be provided, leading up to the 2022 NATS.
Control Line Scale will take place July 15, 2022 through July 17, 2022 at the AMA site in Muncie Indiana. Events will include:
• 509 Sport Scale
• 521 Profile Scale
• 526 Fun Scale
• 527 Team Scale
• 529 1/2A Scale
• FAI F4B Control Line Scale - Note that FAI F4B will be flown instead of 528 Authentic Scale.
Make sure that you review / understand the latest Control Line Scale Rules (2022-2023). Go to the AMA link to review the rules. The F4B rules are presently under revision and will be available soon. Note that the F4B link does NOT yet include the revisions to 1) allow the use of 2.4 GHz radio control signals through the air for functions other than pitch control; and 2) all static judging to take place at a distance of 5m (16.4 ft) - no "close-up" judging.

One more thing.... Send me your email address if you want to receive the updates directly, instead of through this forum.

I know that some pilots like Ed Mason do not have ready access to E-mail or stunthanger so for those pilots they will have to recieve a hard copy in the mail or when they register. I am going to print this out for him and mail it to him.
What if NASA printed up the information like this and made it available when people pick up their badges?
I would hope that the AMA could provide the E-mail address or mailing address for the people who register for the Nats. Have a signup sheet when people check-in at static with a telephone number and E-mail and if they want to recieve a text message or an E-mail. I use both on my smart phone but some barely have a basic cell phone.
We have club members in the Lafayette Esquadrille that do not have a computer or a smart phone that can recieve E-mails and texts. So for those members I have to mail them a hardcopy of the club minutes. everyone else gets a PDF via E-mail.
