Default RE: Why do you fly IMAC?

Andy540T,

Thanks for the heads up, only thing though I see is that I am obsessive and anal about 3D. While there may not be standards that are determined by a ruling body such as judging in IMAC. I do self judge and practice what I consider to be precision 3D. I've spent several hundereds of hours smoothing out or making 3D maneuvers more precise(timing, input, altitude, smoothness, etc). I've seen joe blow young kid slapping sticks around in 3D flopping around like a fish. That is not how I fly 3D...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter what the maneuver is... in my mind. When it comes to being precise it's about execution , not whether it's an IMAC maneuver or 3D.

Obviously some people see it differently and I'm hoping to understand their perspective better.

I'm not so much interested in competion and have not been to and IMAC event. I'm fairly busy with work and going to college at the same time. I'm not close minded to IMAC but still a little hazy understanding how it will make me a better pilot. I fly because I enjoy it and I can do things I would never have the guts to attemp in full scale. I started flying acrobatic ultralights at 12 years of age with my father. I've pushed it to where I've gotten nose bleeds from g-force. 3D appeals to me because there are maneuvers you can't do full scale. I don't think of any style of acrobatics being better than another, I just acknowlede them as being different.
