Nats News

By Stan Alexander

This year’s Nats started with practice on Thursday for many of the competitors arriving early to Site 4 at the back of AMA’s property. Unfortunately, at least half of the grass runway was overrun with ruts, tire tracks, as well as footprints from careless people abusing newly sown grass. All of that will have to be reseeded and rolled again.

Well, the weather looks great for this week. Contestants are on their way to the Nats, hoping for a little practice before it starts. The grass on Site 4 where we will be flying is in good shape, but it could be hard from the lack of rain. I’m in hopes that the grounds crew will take care of that with the watering system.

Thursday, June 30, started out beautiful for the third day of the 2022 RC Scale Aerobatics Nats. The wind picked up slightly out of the south southwest. The first airplane took off at 8:30 a.m., and the day progressed quickly.

On day 1, we could not have asked for better weather—sunshine, no clouds, and a light breeze.
