Nats News

The racing was very tight today and several Novices moved up to Expert. From the beginning, it was pretty clear that the boys from Canada were going to be tough to beat. After eight rounds of racing, the team of Roy Andrassy and Cory Paine from Canada cruised into first place and fastest time!

Welcome back. I think that will be our motto this week. There is a buzz in the air regarding the 100-year celebration of the first Nats, and people have taken the time to make the annual trek to Muncie, Indiana

The 2023 AMA Nationals (Nats) is the 100th anniversary of the first Nats, and it is also the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Miniature Aircraft Combat Association (MACA). The F2d Team Trials have been expanded from the normal two days for the triple elimination contest to three days for this cycle. The regular AMA events will follow the team selection starting on Monday. That's eight days of combat!

The 2023 AMA Control Line (CL) Scale Nationals (Nats) is the 100th anniversary of the first Nats. This might be your first Nats, or maybe you have been flying at the Nats for many years. Some pilots live really close to Muncie, while some have to drive more than 1,000 miles to get here. Just to name a few, pilots have come from California, Oregon, Colorado, Florida, and around the Midwest to compete. You will see a wide variety of models being flown, including warbirds, civilian, single engine, and multiengine.
