Nats 2016
Jay Smith
As I write this, we have just completed the RC and Control Line Scale portion of the Nats and we’re are about to continue with the rest of the Outdoor Nats immediately following the Fourth of July weekend, as well as the Indoor Nats later in July. Although I would highly recommend that everyone attend the Nats at least once, if you can’t attend, be sure to follow along with all of the excitement of competition on a daily basis with our coverage of the events in NatsNews.

NatsNews reporters are generally competitors and writers who are passionate about the special interest they cover. Their reports are complemented by many photos. The NatsNews is hand-delivered to competitors here at the AMA.

“MA Construction Series”
Paul Kohlmann’s last construction series ran from the March 2015 issue to the January, 2016 issue of Model Aviation. Starting with this issue, Paul has returned with a three-part series covering the construction of his 45-inch wingspan Messerschmitt Bf 109.
The plans for this model are available for free on the Model Aviation website at www.ModelAviation.com. To learn more, turn to page 47.
