MAAC is in total control of the hobby, I would not give up on MAAC yet, they have a lot of influence in the hobby. MAAC has contacts all thought the hobby from the Aero Club of Canada , Dot, AMA and so on.

I'm confident the board has has plan to deal with the park flyers. Once the park flyers learn about the benefits of MAAC, they will not hestitate in joing MAAC, we should start seeing a jump in MAAC membership.

Plus the image of MAAC has been boosted through the efforts of Chuck Smith and Keith Morrison who have held world championships that raised the profile of MAAC and aeromodelling through out Canada and in the hobby world.

Now that Chuck Smith is on the board, he will be the spark MAAC needs to get things moving, look how the Chuck Smith "Nats" got everyone excited about it.
