    Links to IMAC 2016 Known Sequences

    I think that link is VERY OUTDATED material. We have had 3 rules cycle cycle since the online school was instituted and needed SILVERLIGHT to run it. The newly updated link can be either found on the IMAC website under the DOWNLOADS link and scroll to the bottom of the page.... Or found here

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    THIS one looks the best. If we wait for Primo to get that done, the 2016 contest will be finished before he gets around to it!

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Primo.... The plane looks great. Please take note of how you ran your ignition wire in photo #4. You may end up with a chaffed wire after a short time. Wayne

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    http://www.imacworlds.com We all enjoy the sport of Scale Aerobatics MORE than we care to admit. That mixed feeling of competition, sportsmanship and camaraderie is ingrained throughout the entire system. We (myself included) may all feel that the above is only found in our quarter of the...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Well, Matt.... If you are saying that you won't rejoin IMAC because of a rule you disagree with, we are really sorry that you see it that way. Our organization is a disciplined, fun, one that has rules that everyone should abide by. It is quite probable that if a pilot did the same thing at the...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Hi Matt.... I understand how you feel..... However the rules are taught throughout the IMAC system the same way in all the Judging Schools in all the regions and also Internationally. If a pilot was to fly inverted between sequences the entire round would be zeroed. Come 2017 with new rules...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Taking a look at the rules... This is what it says about exiting the box when inverted, just for information. Wayne  Single half roll to inverted immediately prior to entering the aerobatic airspace for the case in which an inverted entry to the first maneuver is required;  Single half...

    Yes Dread..... Sleepy... I understand why it is done..... High Traffic is always the key to a successful website. I was only pointing out something that (for me) was taking more time to see photos, if I wanted to view them. Wishing continued success to GSN. Wayne

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    I don't remember typing or saying anything about feeling any difference?? All I was showing was that there IS a way to actually get less than 1 degree accurately. I put my wings back at 0 degrees because I spoke with Mark Leseberg at the Joe Nall and he said the airplane (Dalton Extra 300ML)...

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    For info..... If you use a digital meter and place it on top of the incidence bar...you can actually set incidence in 1/10th decree increments. Originally, I set my wings for 1/10th degree positive...before moving them back to 0 degrees. Wayne

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Hi Doc... I just saw this...so sorry for the delay in answering. Firstly, the rules do not designate how long of a pause can be made in point rolls. All the rules say regarding the pause is: "Each pause of a point roll must be clearly recognizable in every case." So, to answer your first...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    THANKS for responding guys... It is very much appreciated. Last night, I tried a second piece with 150°F iron temp and it worked much better. Remember, I'm putting Ultracote on top of MONOCOTE (not Ultracote) ... Anyway... I will try the mixture and the heat gun on an old wing today to see the...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    Anybody ever put 7" strips of Ultracote over Monocote on the bottom of a wing? Is there any trick to keep it from bubbling up? I'm using two 7" wide strips of Fluorescent red from the leading edge to the trailing edge at the tips.... Used Windex to first lay the Ultracote where I wanted it...

    Multiplex plugs - What's the consensus?

    Since you asked about MPX, I can give you actual experience with these from POWERBOX. They are available at DURALITE and I have been using them for over 5 years (the same set), in 3 different aircraft (42% Extreme Flight EX300 used in IMAC competition w/ HV JR Servos). You cannot make a mistake...

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    Hey there... as Earle has already mentioned..... the criteria differs significantly, regarding wind correction in IAC as compared to IMAC. However, both organizations have had renewed contact and last year (2014) IMAC was invited by the IAC to put on a seminar at the EAA Oshkosh event. We did...
