Hope all of you are doing well and getting ready too attend the 2022 USSMA Championship.
The invites will start going out in an EMAIL to all contestants from the last TWO Championships, along with all information we have from this years qualifiers. If you did not put your email on the paperwork for the qualifier you attended or do not receive an EMAIL invite from us, PLEASE feel free to contact me with your information at cak11@cox.net so that you will be able to compete this year.
Some of you may receive more than one invite this is because Mitch and myself will be emailing the invites and there maybe double info.
The USSMA is looking forward to as many of you as possible to attend this years Championship.

We are well on are way with the final steps for this years Champs, if you have flown in a Qualifier this year and are not sure if your information has been forwarded to the USSMA and you wish to compete , PLEASE contact me so we can get you setup to attend this years champs.
As I have posted earlier TAXI OUT can be used as one of the maneuvers for your flight routine, alone with this the ProAm Sport Class will not be flying the Figure 8 maneuver, this due to safety with 4 models in the air and air space used by the larger models. The ProAm Sport Class will still need to do 10 maneuvers for the flight score.
We are looking for a good turn out with several contestants that have not flown in the Champs for a few years, this will be a good chance to renew friendships and good clean competition.

From National Chair / Bringing back a maneuver

Last post by Curtis Kitteringham - Mon, 03/14/22, 11:33 PM

Bringing back Taxi Out as a MANEUVER, this was part of the USSMA maneuver list in the pass. It is time to bring it back into the contest world. I'm looking at a few reasons, Golden Age taildraggers are making a comeback in competition and with this the slow models can use this maneuver to limit their time in the air and speed up the flight line. Each maneuver has realism points with over all realism many contestants do not know this, with taxi out as a maneuver you maybe more inclined to present your model more realistic. As for end of flight that will remain the same which is....as soon as the contestant says Landing Complete or the model is rolling out after landing the round is completed. The contestant as before will need to exit the runway as soon as possible for the next contestants use.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at this years Championship in Mesa Az.
