Even if you have never competed in a contest you can enter the Basic Class which consists of 10 maneuvers, including a 45 degree upline, a roll, Hammerhead, a loop, etc. The Best part is you can fly any plane you want in the Basic Class. These are the same maneuvers we all usually fly when we are burning holes in the sky. So bring your bird out and Join us for some good ole Texas Hospitality!

Here are a couple of links to video of the Basic Routine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quRhGEeFdPs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmXql4WEO2c

It is that simple

In addition we'll have some of the top pilots in the world at the event so you'll get to meet them and learn from them.

Brett Wickizer Wold FAI Team Member, XFC Competitor Rick Byrd (I'll update more as I get confirmation)

The format we are going to follow is Saturday Start the IMAC contest at 8am with the 1st plane in the air at 8:30am. We’ll fly all day getting 2-4 full rounds of flying in (depending on the number of attendees).

Event is limited to 60 Registered Pilots

Classes:
• Basic (introductory class fly any aircraft you want)
• Sportsman
• Intermediate
• Advanced
• Unlimited
• Freestyle (This is a combo of 3D and precision flying. Usually
done to music) Know to Spectators as "The AirShow"

We will then have the 1st round of the Freestyle Contest after the IMAC rounds are completed.

If your not familiar with the TAG Program (Take off and Grow) it was developed by the AMA to generate interest in our hobby. Spectators will have the opportunity to get to fly RC models.

Sunday we’ll start at the same time and fly 1-2 rounds of IMAC then have the final round of freestyle and then have the TAG program the rest of the day while we do the prizes and awards. We are also going to provide a certificate of completion for each and every TAG participant we have.

The event is really geared to getting new people to try out precision aerobatic flying. We will have extra incentives for 1st time competitors and bigger larger trophies and more awards for the entry level class. BASIC is the Introductory level class and you can fly any airplane you want. We’ll have people at the event to help educate new comers so they can have a great time and do well.

We will be advertising at the local schools and churches as well as the local full scale airfields for a “Remote Control Airshow “ This will hopefully help attract a large spectator following. We are expecting over 500 spectators for the Freestyle portion ie RC AIRSHOW

In addition we are expecting Radio and TV Coverage as well as the local newspaper.

We have also gotten some verbal commitments to help support and promote us from the following:

• Great Day Houston TV Show
• HEB Grocery Stores
• Desert Aircraft
• 42% Products
• Higher Plane Productions
• Micro Fasteners
• Riches Brew
• RC Hobby Shop Sugarland
• Cermark
• Hobby Lobby
• Flying Giants
• RC Universe
• Smart Fly
• Blazing Wings
• Tru-Turn Spinners
• Carden Aircraft

Several more are on the way. Check the Website for Updates and more information http://www.jetero.com/imac.htm

We look forward to having you fly with us and if you have any questions please let us know.

I'll be there. Maybe I should grow a pair and move up from basic to sportsman this year. I'm gonna need to practice the sportsman sequence. If I suck, there is still a chance I could win... A raffle prize.

Jetero R/C Field is located about 5 miles east of the intersection of FM1960 and FM2100 in Huffman Texas. The web site ( http://www.jetero.com )
should have a map to the field available that will get you the specifics. Email me if you have any other questions.


Look forward to seeing everybody there!!

Hi,
Thanks for asking. A couple of ways to get the info.

1. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en...2&source=embed Click on the Airplane for directions to field.

2. The Club website has the above map under field location and if you click on the plane you can enter in your start address and it will give you directions.

3. GPS Coordinates:30.061629,-95.021374 that you can plug into your navigation if you have one.

4. If you are coming from I-59 Exit FM-1960 (Go East towards Lake Houston) 16 miles
After crossing over the Lake Houston, FM2100, and the railroad tracks. Take your 1st left after the railroad tracks on Zarsky (7/10 of a mile)
Left at 1st Stop onto Sign, Follow the paved road and the Field is on the Right side.

We should have road signs up Friday to guide you in.
