I was thinking about IMAC, until I discovered the cost to compete. $7000 to $10000 for an airplane and all the support equipment to haul the monster. Pattern looks cheap to me.
As mentioned in an earlier post, The thumbs on the stick is what wins, not the airframe..... although a good airframe helps.
Not true, a good 50cc airplane is fully capable of winning through intermediate class.
And then $10000 to be competitive....... Even a 50cc plane is not cheap. Call me a tight wad if you will
I know that everything moves forward, but it seems to me it's a rich mans game anymore if you want to compete and win. At my age I'll be unlikely to win anything major or even minor. I know this, but it is frustrating to compete knowing I can't afford the "good stuff".
