Dan,
I will be attending and flying Sportsman. I should arrive on Friday and offer to help out in anyway needed.
I would suggest in maybe trying to get people to preregister. It would save time for both the CD and pilot on Saturday morning if you already had pilot information on file.
Take Care

We are going to have to watch the Dumas Boys. They take all of the 1st Place trophys. 
Maybe with Cliff spending three weeks in the mountains on the golf course and away from the air field, I may have a chance.
Fred, your not that far from the Kansas contest, what about making that one the week before Texoma?

Yes I think I have it solved.
I moved the throttle servos back to the middle of the planes. I ground tested both birds with engine running and I could get 100 paces before the receiver would go into fail safe (intermittently).
Another key factor is that I make sure I have the fail safe control surfaces set to neutral instead of Full Throw :stupid:
MY BAD, I wrote before reading, I thought you were asking me about the reciever problems, now I see you was asking Fred.

Yes I always like calling for the guy that's going to beat me! Now that I think about it, everyone I call for gets first place. Duane, Bob, Fred,.......... I'm starting to see the picture here. I don't know if I'm going to Sherman. The way you and Cliff are snagging all the trophies I don't see the point 
All kidding aside I will probably try to make it if this job thing doesn't get in the way.

Texoma RC Modelers 7th Annual IMAC Challenge
All,
Everything is in line for this contest. I was a little scared earlier in the week at the forcast. The current forcast looks great, cool with only 30% chance of scatterd thunderstorms. Here is the forcast
http://www.weather.com/weather/local...ocalUndeclared
In adition to the items mentioned earlier airtronics sent:
Airtronics RD8000 8-Channel FM/4 94322Z Servos
one lucky pilot will walk away with this 8 challel computer radio.
My office is full of pilot prizes.
The flier, map, can be found at
http://www.texomarc.com
feel free to call if you have any questions, the feedback so far looks good for a good turnout, there have been pilots at the field all week practicing. There will be security at the field on Friday and Saturday, so you can leave your canopy and trailors there without having to haul them back and forth.
Good luck to all and hope to see you there

I would like to thank all who attender the &th annual Texoma IMAC, here is the contest report and results
The 7th Annual Texoma IMAC Challenge, got off to a great start. There were 27 registered Pilots in all classes. 14 Pilots showed up on practice day. There was security at the field both Friday and Saturday night so the pilots were able to leave their tailors at the field. Registration commenced at 7:00am, an informative pilots meeting was held, followed by an in depth and informative judging seminar from Wally Pitts SC Regional Director. Wally educated all on the finer points of judging, which set the tone for the event. As an added bonus Dr. Sandy Frank, AMA District VIII, Vice-President, paid a visit on Saturday.
Texoma RC has a great field, which the club has had for over 30 years. Noise and over-flight is not an issue. There are some power lines at the North end of the field. Due to the size of the field these lines are not that big of an issue for most pilots. The club is working hard to raise the funds to bury these power lines.
Our field is an afternoon field, with the runway running north and south, and pilots facing the east. Normally we would had to offset the flight line to avoid the big yellow ball in the sky, but fortunately it was overcast and cool so flying got started at 9:00am on Saturday. This morning blessing became an afternoon curse, there were dark clouds all around us, and finally around 1:00pm we had to give in to mother nature for about one and a half hours. The weather cleared and around 2:30 we started flying again. Due to pending lightning we called it a day around 4:00pm. Luckily we were able to get in two full rounds for all pilots and a third round for Advanced and Unlimited the first day. There were Severe Thunderstorms North, South, East, and West. I guess that is why they call them SCATTERED thunderstorms. Mother nature wasn’t going to get us.
Sunday was overcast as well, so after a brief pilots meeting and observation of the National Anthem, we were able to commence flying around 9:00 am. We completed unknowns for Sportsman through Unlimited, as well as a third round of known for Basic through intermediate. We enjoyed an impressive aerobatic show from the five pilots that competed in freestyle. Another added treat was an awesome aerobatic performance from Trey Tenhent with the Texas Heat Wave Aerobatic Show Team.
This was an extremely well sponsored event each pilot went home with at least their entry fee in prizes, and many pilots went home with much more. Many thanks too all the sponsors. Sponsor contact information can be found at the club website: http://www.texomarc.com
Our club, Texoma RC has the longest running IMAC in SC region, the first 6 years the CD for this event was Wyatt Spurgin. I volunteered to continue the tradition and CD the 7th Annual event. It was a tough act to follow. This was my first event ever to CD and I must say it was well worth the countless hours of preparations. I could not have done it without help from the Club, Pilots, and Volunteers. Special thanks to Ben Sly and Skip Paxton for running the impound, Charley Thomas for printing the awards and doing the unthankful task of Score keeper, Paul Fulenchek and Gil Dodson for keeping the flight lines going, and Ray Sledge for taking care of all the little details such as water food breakfast etc… There are many more, who helped as scribes, with setup, and preparation, special thanks to all.
The club would like to thank all who attended. They enjoyed the event as much as the participants and look forward to having everyone back for the 8th Annual Texoma IMAC Challenge.

Great Job to everyone!!!!
I'll have to second that Fred,,,
The seventh annual Texoma Imac was very well run by all involved. With special thanks to CD Dan Powell.
The sponsorship was outstanding to say the least, and the field was in great condition.
I would also like to thank Cliff Town and Fred Sweet for keeping my airplane dry and charged up in their trailer, both nights!!
For those of you that stayed around Saturday night after the rain stopped (and you know who you are) Good people,Good times!
Count me in for next year......

I must say to all you are welcome
Hopefully you had as much fun as I did
I wished I could have staied longer saturday night, but I had some family obligations
Eddie dont feel bad the first flight order sheet had Bobby L Folsom listed as Bobby L Fol which I fronounced "Bobby L Fool in the ready boy", he was even quicker than you to correct me
What do you guys think of the contest report, It is a copy of what I submitted for RC Excellence magizine and the IMAC website
I hope to see you all next year
