nats

On Monday morning, the first day of most people’s work week, we all began our second day of competition flying in the 2024 RC Helicopter Nats.

Good morning, Control Line (CL) Racing fans!
Day two of official CL Racing again greeted the racers with perfect weather.

The second day of Control Line (CL) Speed had the threat of rain, but everyone still got their flights in. They even flew through lunchtime, just in case. We flew Formula 40, 21 Sport Speed, 21 Profile Proto, and Fox 35 Speed.

The normal Control Line (CL) Combat pace returned for 1/2A Combat on Monday, August 5. Electric starters are permitted, and shutoffs are not required—they're the most common cause of flame outs.

Day one of official racing was greeted by perfect weather and a perfect flying circle facility. It was a day of victories as well. For many, just completing the long and arduous travel was a victory.

A great week of competition was had by everyone. This was a very well-run Nats event, and the team that accomplished it should be very proud.

The final day of the 2024 AMA RC Precision Aerobatics (Pattern) competition didn’t disappoint. It was a well-run event with great staff supporting it. All of the finals rounds were mapped out, and all classes got their flights in between the low cloud cover and pop-up showers. It made for a long day, but everyone managed to get their flights in

Good morning, race fans! With a few days of prior rainfall, it looks like the freshly paved and marked Control Line (CL) Racing circles are squeaky clean and just asking to be broken in.

The 2024 AMA Nats has been in progress for several weeks. This week, at the International Aeromodeling Center in Muncie, Indiana, model helicopter pilots are arriving from all around North America to compete with model helicopters in a variety of classes and difficulties.
