Bummer I could not attend and give you some competition Wayne! I had hoped to be able to make it over but just could not.
It is a lot more fun when you have someone to fly against, although, sure makes the unknowns a non issue!
Maybe next time.
See you in CMH

RE: St Louis IMAC; 14-15MAY05
Good hear from you guys and I appreciate the feedback. I enjoyed having you all down to the field and am looking forward to seeing you guys soon.
Wayne got everyone right in all the classes Lew... where the heck were you big fella?? Chris, I didn't get a copy of the Post Dispatch... I'm not sure if they ran the article or not. I couldn't find it on the web and none of the guys mentioned seeing it yet.
Here is my write up for Bob Hudson:
The Midwest Air Wing ‘Gateway IMAC Challenge’ is another great North Central Region contest and the only contest within a few miles of St. Louis barbeque, blues, Cardinals baseball, and the “Arch”.
Twelve pilots registered and flew in the contest making this a well supported Midwest Air Wing event. The weather proved challenging all weekend due to strong winds, 25 - 30 knots, giving every pilot an opportunity to demonstrate their wind corrected sequence.
The contest got underway on Saturday morning, after a short rain delay, plenty early enough to get in three known rounds for the day. The field was open Saturday late afternoon for open flying. A few of the hardy contestants put in some practice flights prior to the unknown sequence being handed out. Sunday morning literally blew in with plenty of wind and an overcast sky to block the sun, excellent conditions to challenge pilots in the unknown round. Following the unknown, another known round was flown to bring the contest to close.
John Lawyer masterfully used the wind to his advantage; he dominated Basic despite the wind tasking his quarter scale Extra through every maneuver. Louis Matustik flew his Hanger 9 Extra brilliant and has now strung together a phenomenal two 1st place victories in as many contests this season. Lou will be a force to recon with at all contests he attends this season. Club President Joe Manissi awarded a $50 cash prize to Lou for driving the furthest (Columbus, OH) to attend the contest. Sorry Frank... you were close... very close to winning this one too! We'll see you next month and I'm staying at the Holiday Express... so... watch out!
In Intermediate, it was the always masterful Frank Morrissey and his Carden Extra bulldozing the competition all weekend long. In Advance, the magnificent Larry Arseneau turned in yet another blue ribbon performance with his Carden Extra to walkaway with the class victory. Wayne Geffon continues the Herculean effort of conquering the hotly contested Roxanna Unlimited class. This year and last, by extracting every last ounce of performance from his Carden Extra, Wayne is still Roxanna’s reigning King of Unlimited! The man is pure majic!
Club member Jack Spano grilled throughout the day with the fantastic grill smell tempting all in attendance. It was superb grilling in the beautiful setting of theMidwest Air Wing Field. If you haven't flown here, you should absolutely come this September. The facility is as nice as any and a trip to the St. Louis Arch is no more the 15 minutes away.
Overall, the Gateway IMAC Challenge is a great contest, a great field, near an all American city. We'll be looking forward to seeing you in St. Louis at the 2005 Midwest Air Wing ‘Gateway IMAC Challenge’ September 17thand 18th!

Jeff - Looks like everyone had a great time, I knew they would. You guys have a great facility and the members are fantastic. I sure missed not making it and it would have saved me a ton of money, had I went. I'll explain that to you when I see ya. I am trying to make arrangements for your next one. Tell your members " thanks for supporting IMAC ". See ya soon..................... Big Lew

RE: St Louis IMAC; 14-15MAY05
I'll tell you Lew, it is great to have an organization behind IMAC like the Midwest guys. I have talked to some other IMAC pilots and to my surprise, found there are some clubs out there who could be a lot more supportive. I will mention your comments at the next meeting, the club "fathers" like to hear good things from events we sponsor.
Another thing, I've got to tip my hat to Caroline and Dennis from Carden, Dave Johnson from Desert Aircraft, and Darla, Rich and company at our local shop 'Corner Hobby'. They made a contribution/donation to help support the event; no matter how large or small it really helps support the hobby and I'm grateful for the companies out there supporting local events.
