    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Adding to Roger's comments....in full scale boost, or servo tabs assist the movement of the surface against the slipstream. The higher the airspeed, the more effective they are.

    IMAC Terryscustom 35% MXS-ST Prototype

    I used the 3mm nylon snap-in thrust bearings from McMaster in my Krill wings, with solid CF hinge rods from ACP. The rods are not exactly round so a bit of light sanding was needed to get them to slide through the Krill ailerons, which have plastic/nylon sleeves already in place between the...

    Really have no idea. If i get a chance I'll ask him, but don't hold your breath ;). About the only thing he didn't do was build the "pressure cowling" the way the T's were. This one is basically just an S1-S cowl.

    IMAC Terryscustom 35% MXS-ST Prototype

    Sure came out nice Terry! Do you plan on reinforcing the wing sheeting overhang (that covers the gap)....maybe some balsa tri-stock under each? On my Krill, those overhangs (which are fiberglass) can be fragile .....don't ask how I know :(

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    Let's all please keep this thread on topic, which is a discussion of a true scale type of competitive aerobatics, which may or may not involve IMAC as an organizing body. Discussion of thoughts, opinions, etc regarding how IMAC is conducted should be started in a thread of its own. Thanks :)

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    I respectfully disagree with some of the comments posted by individuals who admittedly have NOT ever flown IMAC. I am really not sure how one can come to such conclusions without some first-hand experience???
