This will be run as a standard IMAC contest (knowns, unknowns) but people who remember me from the North East know I like to mix it up a bit. So I'll be looking at adding some "extra-curricular" activities to add some fun (rolling loops, anyone?) Any other suggestions, comments, etc., let me know! Hope to see you there! Pete Castine CD

Hey Pete..... Somewhere along the line, everyone needs to read the new guidelines that the BOD has put out for IMAC CONTESTS.

My understanding is, if these guidelines are not followed, then a contest cannot be "labeled" as an IMAC Contest.

Wayne,

The contest will be run as per BOD guidelines. However, there should be no restrictions on what activities can be run after the IMAC sequences are done for the day. These activities will be optional (but participation strongly encouraged). Some guys aren't satisfied with only flying two flights in a day. So, we if can have some more organized, light, fun competition in the mix after hours (instead of just random flying) then I think it adds more to the weekend, and it can also add to the pilot's skill sets. But, if guys prefer just open flying after the sequences are done for the day, we'll go with what the majority wants.

Thanks,
Pete

Pete- I vote for some organized fun after the competition. I have all but stopped flying after the competition is over on Saturday-

maybe a foamy imac contest ? but you have to use a plane that has no airfoil. we do all kind of crazy stuff with foamys. shopping kart landing, or transcan bagger. just to name few. man this, is gonna be fun. Jamie, cant wait to see the cuda fly. the yak is still in the trailer have not done anything to it. I got to finish my pattern plane first. Just bought a carden yak sat. , so one will be in line after the small yak, carden has got to be finished. Kent, I might need to park my trailer there for a few days after the contest I have to go up north after the contest. If that is ok with you. I can leave you the keys so you can fly some of the stuff. Like you dont have anything to fly. LOL
