Wow! What a perfect day! Yes, there was a little wind from the southwest, but everyone had a great time flying the first two rounds of competition Saturday in Designer Scale, Expert, Open class, Sportsman, and Open Fun Scale and Novice Fun Scale classes.

This year the weather has played a role in everything around Muncie, Indiana. Friday dawned a bit cooler, but much more windy. The weather has turned out to be another beautiful week and we are looking forward to a sunny weekend of great competition!

Competitors are here from across the US, as well as judges and officials all to make this a great Scale Nats.

For the last few years, we have had the pleasure of flying off of Site 4 at the very back of the AMA property, in Muncie, Indiana, at the national flying site. This not only allows the RC site a great grass field to fly from, but provides enough room to include the CL Scale Nats division at the same time on the other side of the property.

CL and RC Scale wrapped up on Sunday with awards presented to the winners. Everyone one is traveling home and AMA hopes to see you again next year!

The flying portion of CL and RC Scale Nats began Saturday. Pilots battled temperatures in the high 80s to make their flights and increase their scores.

RC and CL SCALE BEGINS: Wow! This year marks the 90th National Aeromodeling Championships and one of many for the site in Muncie, Indiana. John Boyko is the event director (ED) for this year’s contest, and he has a lot of fun stuffed into this one weekend.
