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!

Celebrate, celebrate, it is time to strike up the band and have a celebration!

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Nats, and the 50th anniversary of the special interest group (SIG) Precision Aerobatic Model Pilots Association (or PAMPA for short). These are two big milestones to be achieved.

The Control Line (CL) Navy Carrier events for the 100th anniversary of the first National Championships (Nats) kick off this week, with three days of competition in all AMA events and a variety of unofficial events as well. The Navy Carrier events originated with sponsorship by the U.S. Navy seventy years ago.

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!
