Default Aussie Coota Shoota 06

G'day guys,

Well with the Coota Shoota less than two weeks away I though we should start and official thread for trash talk, info, scores, pics and vids.

For all those non-aussie's this is our last comp for 2006 and it looks to be the biggest. This will be my 3rd IMAC comp and I'm loving it already. I think I've found the best of this hobby. I guess so has everyone else in Oz since IMAC is growing like crazy here.

Thanks matt,

Can't wait either. I've been putting in the hard yards to get the extra on synthetic and that vess up front, which will happen this weekend. The 50 has really come alive in the last 2 weeks.

Yeah, that extra really seemed a little underpowered at the last comp

I had to up the oil in my fuel this weekend, did some flying on Thurs last week and the motor was cooking, much hotter than it usually gets. I guess 100:1 was ok during the winter but as the weather warms up the higher oil content is still needed for cooling. I ran 50:1 again on Sunday and the engine was much cooler.
