THE NATS

AS I WROTE THIS, the Outdoor Nats was underway! The Indoor Nats took place at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho, in June. In Muncie, Indiana, the Outdoor Nats began on July 5 with RC and Control Line Scale. The Nats is always exciting, and this year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first Nats!

As we do each year, you will find coverage of the Nats within the pages of Model Aviation in the November issue, which will be available in October. You can read daily coverage of the Nats online with NatsNews, our daily blog posts that provide information on all competitions taking place at the event. NatsNews blogs highlight great photos, available scores, presented awards, and more. Visit https://nats.modelaircraft.org/nats-news to learn more.

Model Aviation LIVE

For a couple of years now, I have been hosting a monthly show called Model Aviation LIVE that can be seen live or after the fact on AMA’s YouTube and Facebook. The show is on the third Friday of every month from 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. It provides me with an opportunity to interview modelers and people in our industry and allows live viewers to ask questions as well. Visit www.ModelAviation.com/live to view the most recent show. I hope you are able to tune in for future broadcastings.
