The following question was asked: "What if you are a pilot that is going to fly Helicopter ONLY, do you need to have an IMAA membership?" I spoke to the guys at Triple Tree this afternoon, and they spoke to the IMAA. Joe Nall has always been an IMAA event (for many, many years), and since the Helicopter flight line is very new to them, they had to think what to do. What they have come up with is the following: If you are a Helicopter pilot ONLY and plan to fly at the CR Helicopter flight line at the Joe Nall, a IMAA "Event membership" is all that will be required. (Besides the normal pilot fee's and AMA membership) Now the really good part: This IMAA event membership for the Joe Nall is only $5. (for the length of the event) This money helps support an organization that supports the RC community. I think this is a nice solution. Also.. I'd like to thank all parties involved, it was really nice of them to get back with me so quickly!

for the $25 it cost to join the IMAA, why would it be a big deal? To be able to be involved in the best RC Event, I think it is a small thing to ask!

Its like asking you to join Ircha to fly your plane at one heli event.... In any case, the solution they've come up with rocks

All I am saying is for the love of flying what is the big deal? If I wanted to fly at an Ircha event and it required me to join, I would have already sent in the check!!!!!

Ok, well lets say a heli pilot turns up on the day and pays the $40 registration fee, than has to pay $25 on top of that to join IMAA in order to fly for a single day, there's $65 just to get to the flight line. Thats a lot of chicken nuggets!
Now, this is the first year that heli pilots are being invited to the event, and we don't want to alienate them right from the get go? I think the solution is great, and this will surely be the greatest of events where planks and shanks are brought together in peaceful coexistence!

Wow are you ever missing the big picture!!! Who cares what kind of event it is or what the requirement is....If it requires you to join something different then do it...2 years ago I belonged to the AMA, IMAA, IMAC, and IRCHA...I didn't have to join IMAC or IRCHA but I did and didn't even own a heli anymore!

Err..I don't think so, and I'm glad you are in the position you are in to not have to worry about such things

i'm with you Chane.. i'm sure you remember that a couple of the guys with me last year didn't even bring a plane to fly and they still gladly joined IMAA (they were already ama) to further the cause and do their part to help keep such a tremendous event going. i know that several people that just bystand are glad to pay the pilot fee and the memberships just to feel as if they are a part of the action! it is just a good place to be, surrounded by great people! see you there bud!
