Charlie,

Not sure I agree with you. Went to Castle again this year and saw a few things I'm attributing to the death of IMAA. Carnage at Castle this year was WELL above normal, Never been a midair at Castle in the 18 years of having the event until this year (still miss my L-4). On one flight, 4 of the 5 airplanes in the air crashed, never seen that before at Castle, ever! In my opinion, an infusion of flyers who're not "dedicated" to Giant Scale like the old IMAA Members were brought in a few flyers to the Castle event who had more of a "cowboy" attitude with less attention to detail for both building and flying. The minor commitment of having to make a personal decision to support Giant Scale and write a check ensured a higher level of "commitment" to building and flying GS airplanes.
