It would seem to me that if they can give many pages to large contests like Top Gun or Joe Nall or the other big commercial meets that they can give coverage for our National Champoinships. After all it is the AMA that is putting it on and they have a duty to it's members to report on the

Primarily, the AMA field is the home to several free flight contests each year. Check the 2005 AMA on line calendar for specific usage, I'm thinking the club sanctioned FF events add up to about a month. I have not heard the Muncie guys complaining about the AMA field, they have their own
