In the many years I"ve been flying C/L scale at the Nats we have never had a "pilot/judges" meeting before hand. PAMPA has always had one and it is beneficial in many ways. Since John Brodak and I are C/L scale event directors for the 2012 Nats we thought this would be a good thing. The meeting will take place at the Signature Inn at 7:00 pm Friday night upstairs in the conference room. It should last about and hour. Rules review for all classes and for the new 1/2A event. By doing this pilots will know what the judges are looking for and at. Our flight judges are full size aircraft pilots except for Mr. Eber ( who has been flying model airplanes for over 60 yrs.) Will Hinton, our head judge will take part in the Q&A Fri. night.
The new 1/2A scale event went over great at the Brodak fly-in. John had 7 entries and it went off without a hitch. We'll have it at the Nats and then at the FCM contest in late Aug. using the same rules. Come, bring your 1/2A and join in the fun at the Nats.
Lets grow C/L scale.
Blessings
