Sadly, we just had a District II AMA event that was Giant Scale (Binghamton AEROs at the Chenango Bridge Airfield) that we had always considered an IMAA event. One year after IMAA went boots up the difference was . . . none at all. We have a beautiful event with the usual suspects (around 80 pilots over the two days) and a great time was had by all. The sponsors still sponsored, the pilots still piloted and the event was a success.

The best the IMAA ever was was just a splinter interest of AMA. Since AMA has elected to jump the dues 29% in one year I see the "savings" from IMAA as an offset. Though I do miss High Flight and I like the group that formerly was IMAA and hope we continue on as before. We're still a giant scale focus club whether IMAA is extant or not. And we still almost all fly smaller models as well.
