Originally posted by James.MotionRC View PostJay Smith of AMA confirmed the event will be held at site 4. they will have the grass rolled and mowed short. Apparently several pilots request the event be moved to that site as it is much larger and he agreed to try it for this year.

Disappointed myself :( As Robert just mentioned above about site 3 size........was plenty large, just don't get why Jay would do this :Confused:
Also agree with Skip ;) Hope your doing well my friend.
Site 4 is/was where they held Scale Nats because the GIANT airframes can handle/need that long grass runway.
Whether I go this year or not :Thinking:Warbird Charlie

MB..........I've gone there the past 4 years and I didn't even here the conversation spring up there last year about changing sites.
My personal belief is there is some "agenda" that is forcing Jay's hand on the move to site 4 other than a majority:Confused: of NEFI pilots requesting it.Warbird Charlie

I think the changing of the site is the event killer.
The event has earned a reputation because of where it has been.
There is reason to put the event back on 3 because people want and like the paved twin runways.
I travel 1300 miles round trip to fly off of the tarmac :Straight-Face:
If I wanted to fly off grass I would stay home to do so on my private strip which is better than site 4 ;) or go to my buddy TJ's club which is also probably as good or better than site 4 :Cool:
