<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">- funny!! .... "on the second flight, I felt pretty comfortable and did a beautiful victory roll after buzzing the other pilot stations." Your not far off Gray. In a recent mag, there was a "new" 0.40 P51 review - and they listed every P51 kit/arf manufactorer, and rated each for its qualities! ... but they didn't talk about which P-51 hovered the best. I'll be biting my nails in anticipation of that column!</font>

Like Buddy mentioned its the magazines, not some concerted effort by IMAC to market sportsman. I do not believe I have ever seen anything from IMAC, but every model mag has either a scale warbird OR a scale .40 IMAC plane on the cover. Real IMAC planes are ONLY shown on covers of anything in the hover position, and we all know how important that is(speaking of that , perhaps someone should mention to the self proclaimed #1 pattern supply place that perhaps a new photo would be in order to appease us-my personal choice would be of an Aries).</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Perhaps a Pattern marketing effort could help, but "IMAC style" became popular because the magazines are all in a vicious butt sniffing mode to get out the latest reveiw of the NEW 60 sized IMAC type ARF-gotta be an ARF or no one will buy it right? Why this frenzy I have no idea, but it is not IMAC marketing (unless there is some serious under the table stuff-but I honestly think if anyone is paying money its gotta be the Chinese).</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

PS-what the RC world really needs the mags to do is give us one more review on the NEW .40 P-51 ARF, complete with genuine imitation exhaust stacks for more realistic runway fly-bys. Report on how the first take -off was...did it pull right and require left rudder-I gotta know.....</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
