why we will get a poor turn out for the nats. the orginisers have not said how many have entered in each class(in any of the events). this has the effect of no feedback, no interest. i have raised this concern to peter, but nothing to date. i will have to look at the events i entered to see if it worth going. i have been down this road many times only to find 2 or 3 entered. total waste of time.(my time) the lead up to an event like this needs constant updates of numbers, or one gets the impression no one is interesed anymore. now that i have that off my chest i am going out to fly my 3 helicopters. alex

I have heard that the umbers are poor so far. I'm still going though. Don't know what I'm going to enter but I will compete. How did you go flying 3 choppers at once??
