Frank can you or anyone else on here give any examples of how giant scale flying as it exists today would be affected if IMAA ceased to exist?

It looks like the larger aircraft and those that fly them are increasing in number and external to the IMAA fold.

Of the 35 active large scale flyers that I know here in the DFW area there are not even 10 that are or have ever been members in the IMAA. In many of the cases the 40% flyers can't see any reason to be connected to a group where 3-D flying is not the prime focus.

I am well past the point of considering that style of flying but it does make me wonder how many other types of large scale flyers also consider us to be mostly a bunch of bickering old men that are jealous of where others have taken large scale aircraft and the way that they are flown.

Unrelated to the above I do not hide behind the screen name Gremlin Castle. That was my Uncles B-24 which was part of the 15th AAF 98th bomb group stationed in North Africa and then Italy.
