AMA Calendar Going to Online Only

[rcdude07]

If you're a subscriber to Model Aviation from the AMA, you've always had an event calendar at the back of the magazine. This is going to be discontinued. See below for the text from the email publication from AMA. I hope this doesn't mean more ads. I'd like to see more content since this is being removed.


Saw this in the email publication today.

AMA Event Calendar
to be exclusively online

After thorough user testing, the monthly Event Calendar at the back of Model Aviation magazine will transition to an online-only service starting with the July issue. This online calendar was launched as an addition to the AMA Web site in February, and will remain in the magazine through the June issue to allow modelers and competitors to smoothly acquaint themselves with this important change.

Greg Hahn (from AMA HQs) also e-mailed me yesterday that the new on-line sanctioning should be up and running in the next couple of weeks, hopefully it will eliminate the time consuming old method. I'm not a happy camper right now, my April event (which I submitted the paperwork for on Jan 5) is not showing up on the AMA event calender (but it is showing on the DIstrict VIII website), but my June event (which I submitted the paperwork for in Feb is on the AMA event calender. Go figure? I just hope that my April event shows up in the April issue of MA so that pilots will be able to see it.
