I actually live south of Columbia, MD right off rt 29, Nick.
You probably remember that we tried to get together to maiden your 260 but it didn't work out (I think you ended up getting Don Szczur to help maiden your plane so you were in good hands) - I am happy to offer any help I can with the IMAC prep.
Here's what I say. Get your plane ready. Get it flying. Learn the sequences. Let's get together and do some practicing. Go to the contest. Have fun.
It's as easy as that.
Shoot me an e-mail when you are ready:
