Title: One Champion for C/L Scale and One Champion for R/C Scale says Scale Bulletin nu
Post by: Chris McMillin on August 09, 2008, 08:49:14 AM

NASA says there is one Scale Champion in the Scale event. One for R/C and one for C/L. This makes it so there is no Jr. or Sr. Champion.

Remember this is brought to you by the official SIG, not the AMA. Kids don't count?

I too can vaguely remember the days when the youngsters were in the spot light.  Gene Hemphel would round up all the Jr-Sr's in speed so he could get a group photo for the mag.  Too  many of us more interested in us than the young people we could be helping.  Too bad things kept you from getting your son to the NATS.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday

We'll se what happens in the next couple of years. He is growing up a bit and if he really starts to like something he my push back against someone trying to prevent him from doing it.
He really likes R/C Scale.

Hey Chris, if he does go RC, don't discourage him.  It is still modelling.  My son tried RC and decided it was boring.  He also said stunt was boring.  He loves the racing events, but, his work prevents practice.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday

Don't worry Doc, I like R/C too.
Michael and I have the same instructor, my brother-in-law. Michael is all over that buddy box.When Dave is flying and no one is getting up to fly with him, Michael is right under his arm!
Laura and I got him an R/C simulator for his birthday Sunday and he was all smiles. His mom will die.
