I guess we should all write the editor telling him how disappointed we
are in not seeing full NATS coverage.

That's not what I heard from the editor of the mag. I heard that the
AMA received numerous letters from members that were tired of seeing an
entire issue about competition. There is a similar issue with members
not liking the AMA facilities and grounds being used for an entire month
for competition which they supposedly received letters about. So a
number of days was cut from Nats this year.
So in one year we almost lost a day at Nats, but shifted to starting on
Friday to keep all the dates and we have lost the magazine coverage for
the Nats.
It seems a growing number of modelers are not interested in contest flying.
I think that's unfortunate because that's my favorite part about
soaring. And the Nats issue was my favorite issue for the entire year,
now it's just a Christmas catalog of advertisements.

Just for the record,
from what I know, it was the Model Aviation staff that generated this
idea,
not AMA staff.
