Reported by Pete Bauer
The 2024 AMA C/L Scale Nationals are now in the books. The conditions were as good as could be hoped for. The winds were light every day (Frank Beatty said that the light winds were because he was not flying this year). Thanks to the planning of Co-Contest Directors Allen Goff and Pete Bauer, and the sportsmanship of the pilots, the entire event ran smoothly.
Let’s look at the 2024 NATS by the numbers.
13 – the number of airplanes entered and flown.
7 – the number of individuals registered.
2 in 509 Sport Scale
1 in 521 Profile Scale
3 in 526 Fun Scale
2 in 527 Team Scale
1 in 528 Authentic Scale
4 in 529 1/2A Scale (Including one Junior)
