Default 2008 Riverside Spring IMAC & Freestyle

Welcome everyone to the Riverside Spring IMAC & Freestyle contest. The date for the contest is May 3rd. & 4th.
The entry fee is $50.00 (AMA required) this includes Pizza lunch and beverages both days. The Pilot / Panel, Sound and ACS will not be scored. The pilots meeting will be at 8am and flying begins at 8:30 am.
We are making changes to our contest this year to help make it more manageable and fun for everyone. We will be having a Freestyle contest Saturday after the known rounds. This will give you guys a chance to have fun and compete in a Freestyle contest before the Tucson Shootout. There will be plaques for the top three finishers in the Freestyle.
Please pre-register at www.letsflyrc.com

I will be there (unless my @!#$% work gets in the way).
How will the freestyle work? I would like to enter. Im probable set up to take last
place, but would do it if it encourages others to give it a go...
Hopefully people that do not have a music synced 4 min routine can still give it a go.

Hi Russ,
I know the class will be limited, however, everyone is encouraged to enter the Freestyle. Jeff Szueber Jr. will select the pilots for the show. I know we want at least 12 to 15 pilots to compete. Details to follow later.

Good question Andy, Yes, 8:30 am. We will be flying a single line off the end of the runway until the sun is out of the way.

I've got no problems with the CD selecting pilots for the Freestyle.......and it will be nice to see a freestyle contest.

but I think we all need so hear how that selection process is going to work. Don't want to see a bunch of people P---off because they thought they could just sign up for freestyle and fly it.

What requirements will there be to fly Freestyle?

Also are you going to require you fly IMAC to fly freestyle?

Seperate charge for freestyle?

Is the number of freestyle pilots going to be limited to 12-15?

Hi Sam
Thanks for your questions. We are working out some of the final details on the freestyle portion of this event. I will get back to every one in the next day or so.
Thanks
