NW IMAC Competition Thread

Chris,
Matt looks ready to me. If he has a bigger plane combined with his geometry he is going to be great intermediate pilot.
Al,
My first contest was at Olympia where I flew basic and lost big. Thats where i got the bug. Be careful. Its a hideious bug. A mean bug. A monster bug that will devour you and your family. It will make you insane. You wont be able to sleep at night.
You might even find yourself talking about contests months before they begin.

This is great news Dan, I look forward to flying with you. As far as the weather giving us a break, I figure about March 25th, it'll let up! Ha!

[Al Lewis]

Which Extra 260 are you going to fly? I just finished the Aviation Models 30% and plan on flying that. I could sure use some setup tips for IMAC.

He hasn't got to fly it much since Santa dropped it off, but when he does fly, the difference between that and his small plane is huge. The weather has just stunk every weekend when we've been able to go the field, so the contest might turn into a practice session for him. I don't see what the hurry is to move up, but he really wants to so, we'll see how it goes. Until then, PLEASE let it STOP raining!!!

Hi Chris, it's good to hear from you. The plane must be a suprise as you have yet to tell us what it is, so....., I won't ask, however; I am with Darrin, it doesn't matter what Matt flys he's awesome! It would be like a pool player playing with a crooked que, he would still kick bootie. It'll be fun to have you guys there. Thanks for all the nice clothing, the hat is kool. Santa is pretty nice, any way I can get into the family Will?

Yeah, that's what I like to hear. By the way, if that picture is of the plane your flying, then I want one ! What class are you flying? Just plan on coming and we'll ,see you there.

I'll be flying Intermediate and not sure about freestyle. Probably won't get on our field till mid March(SNOW) not much time for me too prepare my first competition freestyle. This will only be my second Imac meet since I flew a few in the early 90's. Very excited to learn new things and meet new people.

Mike, Matt got one of Bob Dunsire's 35% Yaks.
He actually didn't like it after the first flight but once he got it dialed in he really started loving it. We were lucky enough to catch Kevin when he was in port so having him there really boosted Matt's confidence.
We're also flying 2.4 now on all our models and loving that too.
See ya soon!

How about you Nick, is your plane finished? If so, have you flown it since the mishap? Judging from the last time I saw you fly, your gonna be tough. You will be staying at the field, won't you? You are another guy that should work on becoming a CD.[/quote]

Plane is NOT done! But i'll get it back in 2 or 3 weeks, probably before this ^&%$$%^& weather breaks so i'm not sweating it. Burnin' up the sticks on the sim though!!! I'm really looking forward to a great season with more contests and some more friends/pilots to meet. I'm especially excited to meet up with our great Canadien buds to the north in some IMAC craziness north AND south of the border! And YES, I will be staying in "PALACE IMAC"

Al,

This one.

[Al Lewis]

Looks a little larger then mine. Any tips on the CG, lateral balance, or anything else you can think of would be appreciated though.

Al,

PM sent. If I can help in any way, let me know.
