wow, who is this aresti2004...sounds like an insider to me. basic not a competitive class? say it ain't so!! a guy invests in a airplane, spends several flights making it fly straight, finds a caller, practices, learns the rules, and focuses on disciplined flying, buring lots of fuel, and and someone (in contrast to the imac rules, btw) says that person isn't a competitor? wow.[sm=thumbdown.gif]
OK, this looks and smells like flame bait, but I'll bite?? What exactly are you referring to??
Clearly you have a mistaken idea of my position. I am one of the few who absolutely views Basic as fully competitive. I am one who is constantly bringing up the point that Basic should not be given short shrift. The rules clearly define 5 competitive classes, and yet many in IMAC do not seem to think this means anything. I am applaled that Basic is not part of the NATS and it disturbs me that all IMAC regions do not even track Basic points and award a Basic Trophy at the end of the year.
So help me out, what are you referring to??
