IMAC Workshop
Hosted by the Arizona Model Aviators
Mesa, Arizona
Saturday, December 17th

Sign-In: 8:00 a.m. start
Pilot Briefing: 9:00 a.m. sharp
Flying Starts: After the briefing

The morning will consist of flights, for all participants, in front of the judges with a coach. We plan to run two flight lines. One flight line for the judged flights. The second flight line will be for pilots to get additional coaching and critique, along with instruction on radio and airplane setups.

We will have subs and sodas for lunch. During lunch we will have a question and answer session.

After lunch we will run a formal flight line, simulating a real contest enviroment. Basic will fly on one flight line and Sportsman on the other flight line. Depending on the number of participants we will run one or two rounds of flights. We will have a short, simple unknown for any Sportsman pilot that would like to fly an unknown.

This workshop is for the new IMAC pilot wanting to get started in the Basic category and those Basic pilots that plan to move up to Sportsman for the 2006 contest season. We will have a number of experianced IMAC pilots and judges on hand to offer the new IMAC pilot, coaching and critique. We will be flying the 2006 IMAC Knowns.

Areas of instruction that our coaches will be able to discuss include:
What is the judging criteria and what are the judges looking for.
Instruction in aircraft and radio setup.
Reading Aresti
Flying Unknowns
Throttle/Sound/Airspace management.
Contest flow and how the flight lines work.

There will be no charge for the workshop. Pre-registration for the course will be required.
