Okay, I have a question. In the 2008 IMAC Basic sequence the last maneuver is a 1½ turn positive spin. Is that a flat spin or a vertical spin?

Thanks Dan, I've been watching those but I had a guy in the club explaining the sequence to me, he flew basic last year, and the way he explained it it sounded like a flat spin. I've watched Wayne's video extensively and saw the vertical spin at the end which is why I asked. Just seemed like timing a flat spin for 1½ turns would be a little tricky. LOL More high winds and rain today so no flying again this weekend. This stuff has got to stop! LOL  Should get my sim today so I can practice the sequence at home at least. At least that will get me use to what to do next even if the planes don't fly the same. It's all good!

Al, There's a good narrative description of the basic sequence here, including the final spin. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6534530/printable.htm |

Well with any kind of luck it appears we may be getting a break in the weather. Looks like I may be able to get out at least once, in the next few days. Prefer not to fly on the weekend, but I'll check and see how busy the field is. Here's the ten day from The Weather Channel: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...ink_undeclared. Off for the next three weeks with vacation.
