I like the zoneless feature. I have never competed, but I have flown the sequences each year, and since I did not have any formal training or coaching I always strung the manuevors together with short lines between each. I thought it flowed better and the times when I had a friend calling and we were practicing, I felt that his flying the long lines to each zone time consuming. I have always thought of IMAC flying more along the lines of airshow flying. You never see the pilot fly a figure, then take a long line to the next (it may happen in IAC comp's, but I've never been to one of those either...) each figure flows into the next.

I'm happy to know that I can now string my figures together with as short a line between each as to signify the end/start of each one. To me it just feels better.
