Why is it that the Basic class has not been mentioned yet? Is it that no one cares about this class? I have heard a number of people make that statement before. I flew SCAT last year and truthfully SCAT made the Basic class one of the most important classes there. Having said that, the basic sequences, other than the !QUOT!A!QUOT! sequence 180 degree turn, look almost identical, not much to decide on there. Why doesn't it include any inverted maneuvers? I stressed all last year learning how to draw a straight (well almost straight) line while inverted. Sorry if I seem whiny, but I WILL be flying this class and being new to IMAC have some concerns over what others have told me.
Thank you,
Andy
IMAC does allow any inverted flight in Basic. They say it is too difficult. I do not agree. I also strongly oppose the 1-turn spin. Hard to do and hard to judge. It has no place in Basic. But I had no say in what was picked. IMAC has slightly different criteria for sequence design than did SCAT.
