John, I just checked the AMA contest calender and the St.Louis scale/stunt contest is the week following, witch would be the 4th weekend. I plane on going to that one myself. As for the other scale contests, the Brodak contest in June, and the FCM contest here at the AMA, Aug. 23rd - 24th, and scale will be flown on Saturday. Chuck Snyder tried to run one last year in Columbus, Ohio, but we two were the only ones who showed up. The Muncie Controliners hosted a scale meet two or three years ago and had a fair turnout. I don't know if more contest are the answer to growing scale or not, but it can't hurt to try this and see what happens.
Blessings
Allen
