Everything! Our team has been working like mad men in getting this event up to speed. A full page magazine ad is hot of the presses and will be displayed in the August issue of Model Aviation. John Schroder has been overseeing the 'IMAC Summer School' for a few weeks, and is now preparing for the Team Florida Nats Warm-Up Week. All of our event staff will be at the AMA Scale Aerobatic National Championships either flying or assisting the contest directors. So, if you are going to be attending the Nats, don’t be a stranger, come on by, introduce yourself, and chat a little bit.

Biographies from pilots in ALL classes, as well as the Judges and the Event Staff are posted for your viewing pleasure. The bios are a pretty clear indicator of the competition level we are expecting at the event, and provide a brief background of each participant. While you’re on the website, please take time to explore the links to our generous sponsors. They all stepped up to the plate on very short notice and contributed immensely to our event. A BIG THANKS goes out to all of them.

What kind of event would this be without a public 'Aircraft Give-Away'? Well, I’m pleased to announce that a few of our sponsors have combined forces to offer a fantastic airplane that’s up for grabs. JTEC Radiowave, Futaba, Duralite Batteries, Powerbox Systems, and BME Engines have united to offer a 'RTF' Radiowave 2.7 Extra 300 built by Al Young himself. Not be out done, Extreme Flight RC has also offered two of their aircraft, a 50cc Yak54 ARF, and the 58" Extra 300 ARF with an electric motor and speed controller. Please visit our web site for more information on how you can become eligible to take home one of these fine aircraft. And, best of all, you do not need to be present to win; we will ship the aircraft to you!

We all know that the Invitational Pilots will be battling for $50,000 CASH, with 20 'G's' going to the winner. But what about the IMAC classes, what do they get?? Well, not only will the top three Pilots in each class get an award from Classic Awards and Engraving (courtesy of John Bradley), but we also have several sponsor prizes to hand out. We have engines from Desert Aircraft and BME, a 39% Krill Yak 55M donated by Phillip Barnett from Skyline Aviation, and a 42% Dalton Aviation Extra 260 kit, just to name a few. What’s more, Club Hobbies is giving EVERY contestant a free 'Platinium Level' membership to their online hobby shop.

Prizes and awards aside, it really is about the flying. How often do you get a chance to witness the world’s best do battle, and in such a picturesque setting? If you’ve looked at the venue pictures you know what I mean. Make your plans now to attend this event - we will have plenty of spectator parking, seating, food, etc. Please visit our site for the latest information regarding the Clover Creek Invitational.

Take Care and we'll see you soon!!!
