I would not agree with that until one fundamental element was changed.
The Landing Zone. While in/out zones make for quick and easy scoring, they
add a significant luck factor to the overall outcome of the event. I know,
I have won Visalia, and the Nats. And have come away with the thought,

We have Jeff saying "Friends don't let friends fly 2M" and Howard
heralding the death or exclusion of 2M from the Nats. Why is this? I am
just curious, and have no vested interest since my primary plane is 115"
Marauder RES, why we no longer have the Open class and folks want to get

been 2-3 seconds off. This makes it a l

can work out some details from that point on.
This is not going to be popular with all you 2m fans out there, but here
goes...
Drop 2m at Nats and fly 4 days straight of MoM unlimited, with flexible
long task times appropriate for the time of day or weather at hand.
P.S. I've invested in a new 2m for Nats this year, so don't accuse me of
Ream me if you want but even though many consider it a social event,
Visalia to me is the true national championship TD contest. Yes youve got
the all inclusive week long nats, but the sheer size and number of world
