I've got no problems with the CD selecting pilots for the Freestyle.......and it will be nice to see a freestyle contest.

but I think we all need so hear how that selection process is going to work. Don't want to see a bunch of people P---off because they thought they could just sign up for freestyle and fly it.

What requirements will there be to fly Freestyle?

Also are you going to require you fly IMAC to fly freestyle?

Seperate charge for freestyle?

Is the number of freestyle pilots going to be limited to 12-15?

Hi Sam
Thanks for your questions. We are working out some of the final details on the freestyle portion of this event. I will get back to every one in the next day or so.
Thanks
Jeffery Szueber JR.

What is the normal wind direction there ? flying right to left ?

[Jeffery Szueber Jr.]

DESERTRIDER49,
This time of year it can go any way. But if there is a common way it is to fly your sequence right to left.

Sounds like fun!! I will try to make it... I just got back from Fresno this last weekend and don't remember the last time I practiced IMAC. I will stink at this event but its all about having fun right?

Let me pose a serious question. IS SWEETPEA..aka Sam G going to fly Freestyle?? You might as well Sam, can't take all of those planes with you to Was. State. One or two slam dunks...you will never miss them, and will have more room when you move. I would suggest that the CD pick the freestyle fliers from the ranks of the IMAC fliers..Otherwise you will have a lot of people showing up simply for the Freestyle with no regard for the SAFETY of those around them. All the IMAC guys are very aware of safe flying procedures, and this may prevent 78 guys from showing up who can't fly a straight line.
My chances of getting my shorts clean in the washer, or just chuckin em...50-50. Nothing like a 50% Cub taking off full throttle...5 ft over your head, from the other end of the runway on your blind-side.
Certainly made me more aware of what can happen, and just how quickly it can happen. Of course I am not the CD for this and do not want to offer advice if it is not welcome. Jeff S. always does a great job, and I am sure this will be great also.

Thanks Jeff. I know you'll run it great. I also know folks would like to know if they can show up to fly only freestyle or if they have to fly both along with how the selection process will go. Let us all know when you get it figured out. I'm always looking for ways to run contests smoother, so hope you don't mind me poking my nose in to see what you come up with.

Me fly freestyle? I'd have to fly the contest first. I did not sign up for the contest because I cannot make it. St George is my last contest and even that weekend I currently have to work, so I may not fly another contest this year before I move.

As for a plane.....I've got one or two I could stuff in "safely" to try freestyle. I'd fly it within my abilities so it would probably be boring for all you spectators or at least you might get a laugh outta it.

Reza,

Welcome to the Straight line side. Look forward to hanging with you at the contest.

Reza,
About time you made an IMAC event. You will enjoy it. See you there!

[pbrantuas]

Hey guys, if you are planning to go to Riverside, don't forget to sign up at www.letsflyrc.com under the SW Events.
By signing up ahead of time, you really help out the CD and his crew to plan out the contest accordingly. There are currently 23 pilots on the list, and I know there will be a bunch more, so do us all a favor and sign up early.

Pedro.

Thank you guys. To be honest with you I am enjoying the practicing part of it a lot. You take off knowing what you want to do and what to perfect. I like challenging flying and IMAC is definitely very challenging.

I can't wait to hang out with you all as well
