No problem with that JM and who can blame you after all its still a free country for the most part.

We try to have an organization that works for everyone from the raw beginner to the advanced competitive pilot. There are a few who are so against everything competition they go to unimaginable lengths to discredit or make fun of those who participate or support competition.

I wouldn’t let what you read here on the web influence your decision for or against joining MAAC. After all of over 12,000 members count the participants here and figure out what percentage they actually represent.

I joined MAAC many years ago because it was a requirement of belonging to the local club. I started flying over 40 years ago and had never even heard of the organization and it didn’t stop me from learning to build and fly but I always seemed to be doing it by myself.

I found the club I now belong to and wow there were a lot of guys just like me who enjoyed the hobby. Lots of them were much more advanced than I was so I ended up learning a lot in a very short time. I so enjoy the friendships I have made over the years I now belong to two clubs and travel quite a bit with my models meeting many others who also share what I enjoy. I have flown at many clubs across the US and Ontario and with my MAAC membership I am always welcome.

If you ever have reason to join MAAC let me be the first one to say welcome I hope you make many friends and expand your enjoyment of the hobby.
