O Yea Every Sunday down at the Trail Airport Stacy and his Dad and about 6 or more others show up
We Fly We ask Stacy questions since he's the go to guy and his Dad as well. Theres a bunch of them with a wealth full of knowledge. I just started flying again about 4 years ago have been out of the picture for about 20 years, the hobby sure has changed,and quite a bite confusing but i guess the principal is the same, did you see stacy fly last summer there in Kelowna Our friend that flies with us had a bad expereience lost his Plane well first time doing pattern flying. I'm just happy to get back on the ground again in 1 piece.

Yep it was my IMAC contest. It was unfortunate he crashed. We had a mid level cross wind blowing away from the field. It is easy to get to far out when you are concentrating on the manuevers. That is what happened, instead of calling a break, or taken points deductions and ruddered it back things went bad quickly .It was a shame.

Are you holding another event again this year? whats the month and date or is that determined Yet hopefully we or I can make it. You know most of the time alls we see is each other fly I would like to go and see an event where you can see other pilots strut thier stuff . I don't know what stacy's plans are for this summer. What did you think of his flyin pretty awesome I think. I would love to be at his level. Only time!!

There are 2 IMAC events in Surrey this year. I know Stacy is going to one, perhaps both. I will be going to both as well. Yes he is one of the best in BC, but I will take him down ( Just in case you read this Stacy). Best thing to do is give him a call. Ask him if he is ever going to get the big one going for me. Kelowna is out this year. We may do a boot-camp / learning event this year in Kamloops. Me and Mike just can't seem to get it together
