Default New AMA class "Extreme Prop Planes"

The point of organizing would not be necessarily for competition, but for a way of like interested individuals to become recognized so that there could be "Extreme Prop Plane" meets throughout the country similar to the way the jet guys meet.

Without recognition and organization like the other groups of specialized pilots, it isn't likely events will ever get started for Extreme Prop Planes. Daryl is on the right track for this, but how many fast prop plane pilots are out there who don't know about Daryl's event in Mississippi? What percentage of the extreme prop plane pilots read this forum?

JPO has done a great deal for the jet pilots for instance. They now have events occuring every other weekend through out the spring, summer and fall.

Maybe it's that Extreme Prop pilots prefer to fly individually at their local field rather than getting together a few times a year.
