    How much expo for maiden flight

    You will get used to it faster than you ever thought you would :) Once you get the gas bug, you may be selling your nitro gear :)

    I guess he inherited some money or found a way for the gov't to pay for his toys......

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That is what I am looking for. A slightly used airframe that hasn't been crashed would be nice. Even better if I could work the 42% Edge airframe into the deal :)

    I am retired from the service, but that doesn't give me enough money for my toys, so I go to work so I can afford to play :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We need to try to find an event that is half way and see if we can make it happen :) The purple edge may be going away in exchange for a 40% Extra here in the near future. Tried the basic sequence with the edge and everything was good until it came to the stall spin. Can't get that thing to...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went to an IMAC contest this weekend at Lake Stanley Draper, OK and had a blast! Brought home 2nd place in Basic, which was really cool considering it was only my second actual competition :) The event was run by @BikeRacer and was top notch! We finished our final round and the unknowns for that...

    Don't forget the headers and pipes also. Wouldn't want them to take up any bench space for you :)

    IMAC 93" AJ Laser - Electrified

    Hey Rich, Are you going to be in OK this weekend for the IMAC contest? I will be there and bringing another member of the club who will be flying Sportsman class. He flew IMAC a few years back and wanted to give it a shot again. We will be getting in around 1 on Friday.

    BME-102 or 3W-100??

    When you send it to AI, Gerhardt has the carbs, brand new, I just got one for my 106, in stock. Get the aluminum carb block while you are at it. Those phenolic blocks are very prone to air leaks from delamination and warping. The warping you can fix with sandpaper and a flat surface, but the...

    Too old to "HUCK"?

    Hey Rob, I started flying IMAC for two reasons: 1. I needed to learn how to fly better :-) it has helped out tremendously and 2. I love competition. The Extra is nice because it is so slick in the air, but watching the big Edge go through the routine is just eye candy. It is so graceful and...

    Too old to "HUCK"?

    I love to play around with the 3D flying because it keeps the heart rate up, at least mine as I am throwing around a chunk of change. I realize that my reaction time is not what it used to be, but I will continue to fly until I physically can't, whether it is 3D, IMAC or just burning holes in...

    A monster it is :) Turns the Falcon 28x9 cf at 6510 on the ground! It took about 7 flights to finally get the needles set, but the last flight was awesome! That engine is one heck of a beast and the idle is beautiful! Now to sell the standard 106 with a new carb, aluminum carb and reed blocks...
