RADIO CONTROL AEROBATICS - 2005/05
IN DECEMBER 2004 I was elected to the board of the National
Society of Radio Controlled Aerobatics (NSRCA) as vice
president. That will allow the content of this Pattern column to be
much more informative and more current.
One of the NSRCA vice president’s duties is to coordinate
activities between the NSRCA and AMA for the 2005 Aerobatics
Nats. The event director for the Nats will be Dave Guerin. Based
on his experience last year, Dave was able to send me the
following content so that all AMA members can see it in MA
before the event takes place. This may well be a first for this
column.
