Default RE: Limiting MAAC directorships?

Yes there is another approach.

MAAC - the leader in the hobby of recreational model airplane flying.

MAAC wants to insure you have fun and relaxation in your hobby.

MAAC encourages regional long weekend fly-ins. etc etc

MAAC to partner with H Hobby and get the alpha trainer at the maac rate for maac members.

Look at the maac web site - forms, docs, does it even thell a beginner how to get started.

The culture of the maac establishment has to 180 degress from competitive to receational - where do you think the bulk of the new members will come from.

there still is the culture in maac " built by competitors for competitors" that rubs the wrong way that is why there is the disconnect, competition does so much for us in the hobby, aeromodelling is a sport not a hobby, all this shows me is that maac still ives in the 60's.

All the MAAC propaganda will not work until there is a culture shift.

The majority of members in MAAC fly recreationaly - the one big event maac hypes is the Nats

What corporate maac message is this sending the the majority?
