NW IMAC Competition Thread

[rcgood]

Thanks Mike. Now I left you all alone to scare the #$% out of the people and judges on the flightline. . I plan and will work on being in Tucson next year so I hope to see some of you guys there. I know Devin will be there (right Devin? ) and a bunch of other HARDCORE NWers.

You know I was here at one contest and I was the only motorhome/trailer? Not only that but the only one to show up on THU. I drove to the locked gate and there was NOBODY there . Man this NEVER happened to me in the NW. That's what you get when you have sunshine to spare.

Darrin please bring your scale to the field. I would like to weigh the Python, as I will probably maiden it today too. I got the reciever situation handled and just need to ensure cg is right on, then.....fun...fun...fun. It seems only fitting that since we lost our planes together, the same day, that we should would be able to get our new ones in the air too. NOT AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH!!!! Ha...

I am glad you got the weight down to where you feel good about the plane. It is going to rock. If it flys as good as it looks then once again, you have a winner on your hands. Were you able to use the SWB tray for the rudder?

See you at the field...

Ben get those guys goin. I'll bet within a year you have several new pilots recruited into flying IMAC. Sounds like a great opportunity to build your club. You did a great job with Devin, he's totally stoked about it. He was the die'st hard of them all at the Polar Bear. I would get up in the morning and he was already tearin the air up.... and it was freezing cold! Nice job!

We miss having you here, but this is the next best thing to being there.... keep posting Pal.

Alright all you NW guys with your cool flying fields, does anyone have any fun general fly-ins going on this summer? My summer schedule is out and I can make some IMAC events but not all. I am hoping to hit a number of fly-ins in the region and have already had a great time at the two I have been to so far. So let's hear it, who's hosting and where do I set up the grill?

[chevydad008]

[flynz4me]

Keep checking the Contest menu on the RAMS website. We have a number of scheduled events already, and may add some if all goes well. And it's the most beautiful field in the world. (But i'm predujice)
