Now, 2M was the second largest contest no matter what anyone has said
previously, good or bad, that is the story.
True enough, but those 69 pilots likely came out of the 101 pilot open class
pool. So the real question is how many pilots flew JUST 2M and what would be
the result of NOT having
Look at the revenue side of it and see what makes sense. Besides I like 2
meter, and newer flyers always seem to have one of them, as stated
before.
My $.02 worth.

I have solved the problem of having 2-meter in the middle of the week. I
don't show up until the start of Unlimited. I retired my 2-meter Winglet
Spica in 1998 after 20 years of service. It is still hanging in my shop
and all that it would take to fly again is batteries, receiver, and

All this discussion beating up 2M is really unfortunate. If this string of
thought were carried to the logical extreme, the few that can afford it,
would probably all be flying Icon's or whatever is the state of the art

Soaring Nats, not whether 2M should be eliminated, either the

Make 2M the last day of the contest instead of RES. Show me the numbers
for that. Like Daryl, I only fly 2M at the nats and I sold the only 2M
