As one who has flown a lot of IMAC contests, I can state that the box
is definitely not a factor, being so huge and the airplanes being so
far out. I know this begs the question, but all I can say is that,
with a 75 deg. box, seldom is the box violated. And, I have even had
some CD's state "there will be no box boundaries at this contest."<br>

<div>Hey Guys. I have only flown Turnaround, and never flew the

<div>Other than the box being much bigger(and this may be the key to
the answer), IMAC flies with turnaround in Basic. I see results to
IMAC contests with up to 15-20 Basic pilots. MY question would be, if
turnaround is so difficult to learn, why is Basic in IMAC
flourishing(at some contests, especially this past year, in my region,
Tx?)</div>

The main maneuvers in 401 & 402 were purposely left the same. The
main <br>
lesson in 402 is turnaround which is more than plenty for most. The
pilot <br>
gets to bring everything learned in Sportsman with him. In fact, while <br>
competing in 401, one could be practicing for 402 without changing
much. <br>
That's the beauty of the design. For me, and many pilots I've discussed
this <br>
with agree, the hardest things learned flying pattern with number one
being <br>
the hardest are as follows:<br>
<br>
1. Flying turnaround<br>
<br>
2. Slow Roll<br>
<br>
3. 4 Point Roll<br>
<br>
4. Any Roll that changes direction such as Reverse Knife Edge<br>
<br>
Of those I've talked to, some had a harder time learning the 4 point
and <br>
some the slow roll so 2 & 3 are interchangeable. However, the
transition to <br>
turnaround is undoubtedly the toughest of all which is why everything
else <br>
going from Sportsman to Intermediate was left the same.<br>
