Maybe this is a better spot for this than over in the IMAC section?

The Abilene R/C Society is planning a Big Bird Fun-Fly (with emphasis on IMAC style flying/interest) on July 11th 2015. If our Fun-Fly turns out well, we'll plan to host an official IMAC contest in the spring/summer of 2016.

Here are the details on the event:


The Abilene Radio Control Society is inviting pilots to attend our Wings Over Abilene 2015 fun fly and fly-in event on Saturday July 11, 2015 at **** Bowen Field, located in Sea Bee Park, Abilene Texas. This will be an open fun fly for any big bird, with an emphasis on the Giant Scale/IMAC and precision aerobatic flying. The ARCS flying field is one of the best in Texas with a 400’ concrete runway, concrete taxiway, covered pit area with tables and electrical outlets available in several locations. (pictures available on our website)


ARCS hosted a number of IMAC contests spanning from 2001 to 2009. We had some of the largest events in South-central during that time, with typically 30+ IMAC pilots attending the last few IMAC contests we hosted. Our club is seeing resurgence in IMAC style airplanes and flying within our membership. Our goal with this fun-fly is to offer a low cost/high reward event that will draw pilots to the field. With a successful Wings Over Abilene, we will plan to host an official IMAC event for 2016.


-Open flying will start Friday evening and continue throughout the weekend.

-$10.00 landing donation: Pre-register by emailing James Johnson at: ghostflyer@swbell.net. Please include your name and AMA number. Pilot list will be updated and posted on all major web forums.
