Smackdown sent you a PM with Azar #

Free planes are good. Now all you will need is a fuel sponsor for 30% nitro at $29 a gallon for a YS 170 burns about 1 OZ a minute at 1/2 throttle. 1 to 2 Gal a day to fly $40 $60 each time you go out no thanks. .

[TheRooster]

thats why hes sponsored by cool power and im not going to buy it ha!

[Lenz RC]

Rooster>>> Just busting your balls to try and keep you with IMAC . Go for it man. I am just a guy in the peanut gallery you are a good flyer you worked hard to get where you are now. Heck the way thing are going with electric and smaller lighter weed wackier engines from China will not be long methanol fuel will be the thing of the past. I have a YS 110 for sale shameful plug ha ha . Keep us posted how thing are going . ,

It is true you can purchase for less then $1,000.00 but like IMAC you get what you pay for. Here is a link to NBE products. The Mantis F3A is like the "Carden" or "Dlaton" of pattern.

Note the cost of the plane. $2,149.00 The lowest is $699.00. For the Mantis EX.

Centrel hobbies has some pretty good deals less then a grand. I think I seen one for only $199.00.

Another good plane is by Filton but I think he is not producing a 170 size air frame. Anyway there is some hard fact info for ya Mike. I got these google ing Pattern F3A

http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&h...jlf&psj=1&fp=1

In fact the person to talk with is Henry P. Rumor has it that he is one of the best builders and pilots of the sport. I bet an hour on the phone would be priceless in finding out the in's and out's of Pattern.

ok, apparently at 60% you can climb in and go flying.

YouTube - 60% scale Focke Wulf 190...

FYI if anybody is interested, somebody posted on the NSRCA email list that he had a pair of YS 1.70's for sale. IIRC one was an CDI and was recently rebuilt (new bearings) by YS Performance and was $450, the other was an CDI for $350 with about 150 flights. I will find the contact info if anybody is interested.

p.s. pattern is FUN, the planes fly exceptionally well, etc. It just quickly gets expensive and the planes are somewhat fragile compared to IMAC stuff...

[BTerry]

There is another one, NIB, for $555 shipped.
It is a bad time to attempt to sell anything right now...

Not sure if anyone got back to you on this, but as far as I know the first event for IMAC next year is the Polar Bear contest about mid April. There may be a judging seminar, but nothing has been announced yet.
You should check out the national IMAC site www.mini-iac.com. You'll find a lot of info there. The on-line judging course is excellent.
