Event 2026

Today we had no official flying. Instead, today was a practice day during the morning and evening while the afternoon had the appearance point scoring as the pilots’ meeting.

Now hold on a second. You mean to tell me that a virtual rookie who has been flying pylon for only a few years can come out here and win EF1 at the Nats? Well, that’s exactly what Chris Martin did this afternoon.

Well alrighty you glider guiders, here we go again! “Glider Camp” aka “The Academy of Model Aeronautics/ League of Silent Flight (AMA/LSF) Soaring Nationals,” organized by our absolute favorite Nationals event director, Wally “By Golly!” Adasczik, is set to begin with Cross Country.

Welcome, control line race fans, to the 100th AMA Nats!
