Dave, and Joe,
Thanks for getting this going again. Dave, thanks for getting a date
for us on the AMA site. I still feel that selecting a team to
represent the USA on the AMA field is the most appropriate thing to
do. I would say that about any RC aviation team selection program,
but I know that there are many other considerations that affect site choice.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Mike

Joe, since I last talked to you I have formed a firm opinion on why
we should continue to require the qualification portion of the F3B program.
If we were to eliminate the qualification requirement and allowed
anyone to enter the the team selection event we will have to
require the newer entrants to make up their team arrangements or
affilliations so they will show up with the legal winches,
turnarounds, monofilament, sighting devices, etc. and not put an
unfair burden on existing teams.
The existing qualification scheme actually helps to prepare the new
entrants with the event experience, the required equipment and
teaming affiliations so the actual team selection event does not get
turned into a training session instead of what it is meant to be.
If done properly, the removal of qualification process, it will
still be neccessary to require the new enrants to attend organized
F3B practices or contests in order for them to aquire the knowledge
and equipment they need to be competitive and be able to contribute
to the F3B team selection process.
I am in the process of moving ahead with the August dates so that
the dates are firmed up with AMA as soon as possible assuming that
no other bids with improved timing or location will show up. If that
happens on a timely basis then of course adjustments can always be made.
I think that we need to keep the rules we have for this cycle as is
but start thinking about the next cycle this summer and lay out any
rule changes this fall so there is more than 1 1/2 years for every
one to get familiar with the changes and allow us to continue to
provide the best team for the USA.
Regards,Dave Corven.
