2009 North Central Judging Seminar.

[Wayne]

AMA Headquarters. Muncie, Indiana.
5/9/09 - 5/10/09

Ken McGuire, Marian and Will Berninger have agreed to put on the 2009 Judging Seminar for us.
We have the conference room reserved at the AMA site on both Saturday and Sunday. We also have access to Site 1 (paved runways) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


Ken and the Berningers,
Thanks for stepping up!

[NCFR "Lucky"]

Ken, Will, and Marian - Thank you for putting this on.

I hope to be there (at least for Saturday). I know Alex wanted to come this year, but won't be able to make this one (Sunday is Mother's Day).

BTW - I have a laptop, green super-bright laser pointer, and a wireless presenter you are welcome to use if you need them.

Shamed?? No, not at all. Tom Wheeler and Kurt Koelling have done a stand up job the last few years and they deserve some time off. We are looking forward to filling thier shoes (some mighty big shoes to fill) and continuing the tradition of a killer North Central Judging Seminar.

So what goes on at these seminars. Alot of video watching or flying? Might be a good oppertunity for an FNG like me to learn something i'm thinking.

In years past Allan there was a classroom portion that covered all of the judging criteria with a Powerpoint presentation, discussion and stick plane flying (sometimes a few flight sim videos). Then either later that day or the next day we would adjourn to the flightline and have demo flights and judge them based on what we learned in the classroom. There would then be the opportunity for some of the newer guys to ask some of the more experienced IMAC pilots to help with set up of the airplanes and/or flying certain maneuvers.

Yes, this is definately a great opportunity for newbies!! I hope to see you there.

No commitments, but I could certainly stand to benefit from being there. I just can't manage to get over the aresti learning curve hump on my own

You'd think simple line drawings would be easy...

Aresti reading is so very important and we plan on covering that during the seminar.

Thanks Marian and Will !
To all those Imac Pilots that have never attended and Imac Judging seminar and want to improve your scores, and learn how you earned your score. I highly recommend you attend one of these classes. Even to those who haven't been to one in a few years a refresher course is well worth your time. Just knowing what the judges are looking for will help your score as well.
