I just had a chat with Flavio Tebaldi in Italy. Apparently they do not have enough entries in the Class 2, 5 and women’s worlds to cover all of their costs. I believe, as usual, pilots wait till the last minute to register and this makes it impossible for organizers to plan and to get sponsorship. They are seriously considering cancelling the event if they cannot get the numbers they need by April 15th. That would really suck!! I’m on a great team and I’ve very excited about this event!

So yeah, the problem is there are not enough pilots overall. He said, with what they’ve got, they can’t cover the costs of staffing, bringing the travel club, etc. And, they can’t get sponsorship until they know for sure they’ll have enough participants to even hold the meet. Apparently there are plenty of girls (we’re doing out part ;-), but the men are just too slow in getting registered.
