    Clover Creek Invitational

    Just figured out the forecasted density altitude for Saturday at CC and it is roughly 1500 ft. Definitely putting the 29 x 12 x3EVO back on the 180. It would shred the Falcon 30 x 13 x 3 at that altitude. It almost shreds it at density altitude of 3500 ft which is what we are flying at pretty...

    I think I will be putting the Mejzlik back on today and getting used to it again tonight. I took a pretty good hit on scores in MO with the Falcon and will need all of the help I can get at CCA :) Thank you for the info Robert!

    Clover Creek Invitational

    It is official, I will be flying this weekend at Clover Creek. I received an email from Gil this morning telling me there was a spot for me :) Now to see if I can fly the way I have been flying the last couple of days over the course of the weekend :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Thank you Rob. The 30 x 13 x 3 Falcon is a nice prop as long as the air isn't to dry. If I get above 6700 with low humidity it rips pretty quick. That is why I take the 29 x 12 x 3 EVO Mejzlik with me so I can swap them out if I need to in order to keep the noise down. The only thing I don't...

    He lost another one in Abilene, TX to a tree :( I think his Daltons just like trees :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out this weekend and was testing some logic switch programming for snap rolls on my IMAC bird. Much tighter snaps now. Stick positions dictate which flight mode I am in. With the sticks buried in the corners, rudder and elevator throw are reduced by 50% and the aileron throw is increased by...

    I am curious if there will be any IMAC practice after the Freestyle rounds on Friday.

    Clover Creek Invitational

    My daughter and I are heading out from here Thursday after work. If all goes well we should be pulling in around 11:30 - 12:00 midnight. We are camping, at least that is the plan for now, so we may just crash in the truck when we get in and set everything up on Friday. I am hoping to get a spot...

    Columbia, MO IMAC contest

    I am on the waiting list and may be close enough to the top to get pulled in Saturday morning. I am only concerned because I have never flown 2 flight lines before.

    Something is wrong

    You should make the icon for the menu a "hamburger" icon instead of a gear, which normally represents settings or configuration :)

    Something is wrong

    You know, I am not opposed to change but, forewarn people when you are going to make changes so when things don't look right they will give it a little bit to see if it is just an issue that needs to be resolved or the "new look". I personally liked the way it looked when Bart had it. It may not...

    I was on a mission, focused :-) I am going to make it up that way one day this fall :-) As long as you allow IMAC pilots to fly there :-)
