Chris the planes looks very nice, I only have one suggestion. Open up the intake holes on the cowl a bit more, don't want that nice new engine to overheat. I still think that carbon ultracote is awesome. Glad to see theres finally no more snow on the ground by you. Good luck with it.

P.S. I know you said it but I would strongly suggest starting in a lower class of IMAC for at least one contest. just so you dont get taken off guard with the unknowns.
