Actually Stick the mean center for US population is a few miles west of St. Louis, MO and anyone willing to drive to St. Louis is certainly willing enough to drive a few more hours to Muncie. But what's the difference? RC is a hobby and like every other hobby it costs money to play. And then when you want to be competitive in your hobbies it costs even more money, a lot more money, time and dedication. There are enough regional events around the country to satisfy any aeromodeler, but if he or she wants to compete for the grand title, then they just need to work their time and finances to make it happen.

But I'm with Hoss on this one. Muncie is there for a reason, a lot of reasons and more people need to appreciate it.

Oh I do realize that us NY'ers and the rest of the NE'ers are taking over FL, I'm one of them. Only I bought my house down there well before most started sucking up all the beachfront property and driving the Florida natives to the center of the state. I'll be back down there in heavens waiting room in about 20 years. This way I can leave my children my money tax free when I die too!!!
