Season greetings if a bit late, I found this site over the holidays. A couple of notes,
- I agree that MAAC FAI competitions are no long attract the top maac pilots - so why maac is set in heading in this area at all costs?
- pattern airplanes are designed to be easy to fly, they are almost like an aerobatic trainers, so the guys flying them look like better pilots.

Perhaps the money allocated to the ACC can be reduced to $1500.00 from $16,000, that would leave over $10,000 to promote maac at events where we could impact a larger number of future maac members.

Maybe we should be setting up MAAC displays at the major airshows across Canada and get exposure to 10,000 of potential modelers instead of continuing in our old ways. Change is difficult and not easy to accept but the world has changed around us.
