Sure isn't that number in our club, or the soaring clubs around Southern California. More like 50%, and in our club that number is higher. We use competitions as one way to fly together. These are not cut throat, yet they are competitive. I must be really out of touch with the rest of the AMA world, because less than 5% is a really small number. So for every twenty modelers only one flies competitively? JE -- Erickson Architects John R. Erickson, AIA > The competitor is now in the minority in AMA.
