<P>Is right</P>
<P>I went to an IMAC contest last august flew a borrowed SIG Extra ARF and beat the guy who put on the lunch time demo flying 3-D with a 38% IMAC airplane. Precision flying and 3-D are two different animals.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>2Cents worth. Pattern VS IMAC-
<DIV></DIV>> Very good points made about guys perceiving IMAC as all about 3D aerobatics.
<DIV></DIV>>Its NOT!
<DIV></DIV>> I love the IMAC ships and would like to compete in both disciplines of
<DIV></DIV>>flying. Time and money will not really allow this to be an option.
<DIV></DIV>> If the NATS were any indication of event participation Pattern is VERY alive
<DIV></DIV>>and well.
<DIV></DIV>> Guys there are so many disciplines of model aviation That you are only gonna
<DIV></DIV>>get your "Market share". There may be a tendency to want everyone to like
<DIV></DIV>>what you do.In reality it doesn't work that way.
<DIV></DIV>> Lead by example. I got started by watching people do more than just bore
<DIV></DIV>>holes in the sky, And wanted what they had. Flying with a purpose and to
<DIV></DIV>>improve flying skills. They told me that this was the best way they knew to
<DIV></DIV>>be a better pilot.
<DIV></DIV>> If you know guys with IMAC ships that just HOVER, Teach em a sequence IMAC
<DIV></DIV>>or AMA style. (If there thinking that stuffs to easy and boring throw them a
<DIV></DIV>>FAI or UNLIMITED schedule and tell them this is what the TOP DOGS spend most
<DIV></DIV>>of there time perfecting!) Then you done about all you can do that day.
<DIV></DIV>> Oh have you seen newbies try to hold a strait line with 45 degrees of
<DIV></DIV>>elevator travel? :-)
