Hi Ray and others,
I agree either some "typos" were made or intentional changes were made, I am not sure which. I do think Standard Catapult Glider is listed -event 218 on the page for official AMA events, listed under Wednesday May 27th.
I don't see A-6 listed or any place where you can sign up for it but in USIC/AMA NATS 2009 Rules and Such pages I believe the A-6 rules are on the back of page 1. The first column appears to be cut off so all you see is 6 and then a list of rules.
I don't see Balloon Launch Gliders, which was on Friday morning last year and had about 4 contestants.
I agree with you I also don't see High Wing Mono, AROG, Sci Oly, or Golden Age.
There is a place to sign up for AMA peanut again in the AMA events signup sheet on Friday May 29th.
My sheet shows WW One Mass Launch on Friday May 29th, and WW Two Mass Launch on Saturday May 30th.
I agree not having helium available is an issue. I thought Kmart/WalMart sold party heluim which is not 100% helium only about 75% or so, which really doesn't work for us.
So as I am filling out these sheets I starting thinking these entry forms have gotten as complicated as my taxes, I might need to hire someone to fill them out for me!
Cheers,
Kurt

I guess we need to contact whoever organized USIC (Phil Sullivan?)
and resolve a number of questions. The helium issue is a big one. In
addition to no Std Cat on Wed, there is no High Wing Mono on Thur, no
A ROG on Thur, no AMA Peanut on Fri, no Sci Oly on either Fri or Sat,
no Golden Age on Sat, and no A6 on Sat. WWI ML is listed twice, Fri,
Sat. Probably Sat is WWII ML.
There were no flyers (2 entrants) in Golden Age and 3 entrants in
High Wing Mono last year. AMA Peanut had no entries.
There were only 3 entrants in A ROG, but this is the only contest of
the year where that event is flown. I hate to see it go (since I fly
it!). It wasn't even sponsored by AMA, but by NFFS.
The SO program hasn't been well-attended for a while, so I'm
ambivalent.
A6 had 11 entries, so it and Std Cat (13 entries) certainly should be
included.
Maybe some typos are part of the issue with the USIC schedule. Maybe
if they are fixed, new copies can have something other than a dark
green background which makes the schedule difficult to read and
events one is flying cannot be highlighted.
