at the Atlanta Huckfest there were a bunch of IMAC pilots!

The IMAC site is AWESOME and a great place to share IMAC info and stuff...
this has been awesome because there are pictures posted!.. as of now the IMAC site doesn't have that...

Here's a better perspective since I've been known to fly a little IMAC. If you're not competing, except for the Freestyle, watching IMAC is like watching paint dry. And, it's great hanging out with the IMAC folks that do attend other events. I know it's hard since the IMAC event schedule can be so demanding. But, at least in the NCFR, guys like Hubb, Edge 540, NCFRgal and others do a great job of reporting and keeping us informed at events in our region.

Exactly....I attempt to compete and I can't read an aresti.

I still say "Nice circle thing". LOL

Imagine how much fun that would be for the other FG members who can't read an aresti and don't compete.

But, in all honesty, I think we all need to blame Wayne for the lack of coverage. LOL

Well, it's been 24 hours since the Nats have been over and my final thoughts can be summed up in 4 words: I HAD A BLAST! It is always so much fun here with all of our friends, new and old.

We decided to stay behind here at Muncie for a few days to relax a little. We originally had plans to stay at a campground close to here but we cancelled those reservations to spend more time here with our friends the Jorgensons, Brian Sanik, Phil and Rhonda Vance and the California crew!

Pylon and RC Combat are coming in now and it is enjoyable watching both. Combat is a hoot!

Anyway, I will quit rambling. Thanks for following my thread and we will see you soon at the next contest!

Default Re: NCFRgal's Scale Aerobatic NATS Perspective

This was my 3rd Nats and in my opinion it was the best ever. It was very well run and we got alot of flying in. This is the place to be if you want to see some of the best flying in the country. You might think you have power but you have'nt seen anything until you have seen a 200 powered airplane punch through a 30 mph headwind on a 45 degree upline and then nail a complex snap or break the sound barrier on the backside of a roller. Its hard to describe the level of talant that you see at a contest like this. I have flown everyday since I have come home trying to incorperate a little of what I picked up while being there.(And yes I can now fly the roller in both directions) This is definately my favorite contest and I am already looking forward to 2010. Thanks to everyone behind the scene making this happen for us.
