Plus one each in F1B and F1C. Expense deterred six other qualified members, I believe

Status: offline 		Perhaps it is worth pointing out that this is not a closely guarded secret. Every team manager puts in a report that has been published in our magazine. And every year the FAI rep puts in a report which is passed to the board and to the ACC. So your Zone Director has this at his fingertips.

In most categories only a team of 3 can be selected - 6 in such events as C/L Team Racing.

One year figures are misleading as FAI World Championships are held on every other year. So it's better to look at a two year set of figures. Also although a team may consist of 3 members there are also helpers and often a Team Manager too.

The FAI events in which Canadians normally compete include:
Free Flight
Glider (F1A), Rubber (F1B) also known as Wakefield, and Power (F1C)
Indoor Free flight rubber (F1D). There is also Magnetic controlled gliders (F1E) and 0.06 cu in power (F1J), but Canadians don't usually compete in these.

Radio Control
Soaring: (F3B) multi-task, winch tow and simplified thermal duration (F3J), with hand tow, which has replaced F3B for Canadians and most people.

Power: Aerobatics (Pattern) (F3A), Helicopter (F3C), Pylon Racing (F3D).
Electric powered models task event (F5B) and one other new one which escapes me for the moment.

Scale
Power: radio control (F4C), control line (F4B) There is no seperate event for jets.

Control line
Speed (F2A), Aerobatics ((F2B), Team Racing ((F2C) and Combat (F2D)

Status: offline 		One interesting perspectve arising from all of this.....

Consider the number of MAAC members active enough to spend precious time debating these issues .... these must be some pretty deicated individuals.

Next, consider the number of FAI competitors that have shown up on these threads already .... a very dedicated bunch I would say.

--------------
Irrespective of the actual number of active competitors, in the last 2 years (number still being collected via this forum, a very inaccurate method when contrasted with the sources already suggested but not acted on, begging the question of the real intent...), I suggest that participating in a world level competition is a resource intensive (time, money, desire and ability). I do not have the resources to compete every 2 years in my discipline (FAI F4C). I was last in competition in 2002 but, this does not infer that I will not be competing again in the near (relative term) future. I'm sure this applies to many others. So.... if this questions nets a number (say 75 for argument's sake), this will not be representative of the total number of FAI competitors, as many of us (myself included) will not be represented.

The questions need to be asked. What will the answer provide? To what purpose is the question posed? Why is the poser of the question unwilling to seek out their answer via the accurate sources provided? What is the price of eggs in Paris? Inquiring minds want to know.

deicated? Hmmm -- certainly not deified.


I think that we know why the question is being asked publicly, rather than being accurately researched privately. Not that it really matters -- minds are made up -- on all three sides of the argument.

You mean you don't even see me as a lesser god?

Obviously I intended to type 'dedicated'

Sounds like a previous manager of mine ;
"My mind's already made up, this matter is closed" shortly followed by "you knew about this, why didn't you tell me", much later followed by the "you would have had a great performance review, if it weren't for that little incident you didn't follow up on." ... all referring to the same subject of course.

Actually since I asked the question I bet you don't.

Frankly I was looking for anecdotal information that would help me make an arguement to support international competition. I didn't get what I was hoping for and so didn't carry on with it.
