ok now my .02 I am starting my fifth year now and have been to a few giant scale flyins, one imac contest, and visited just a couple other fields besides my "home" field. I have ALWAYS enjoyed watching someone more skilled than me fly and dont even think of flying at this time. I have often wondered what is going on in the heads of some of these people that must fly while some of the best pilots in the country are "putting on a show" Besides I would not want to pay for some 40% plane i never even flew. I have a couple 33%s and am finaly getting this torque roll thing somewhat. Ive seen the top guys kind of hog the runway some but that is what the majority wants to see, not many people like "the pattern" over and over again. Anyway I think that at imaa events a schedule would work where 3d'rs had a half hour then everyone else an hour then repeat but if there were a lot of 3d'rs they would have to alternat time frames. It can be a little intimidating at bigger ones to actually get up on the flight line but for me it has nothing to do with flight style but rather wanting to watch the best pilots and sometimes it never ends. The schedule could be made aware to flyers and spectators then we could all know when to go take that restroom break, only problem with that is now your chance of getting hit while in the portajohn just went up.lol
