Default RE: 41% Extra succesful in 1st IMAC outing

One other thing. There was no doubt about this thing being light when I had a dead stick. In the Intermediate sequence the second to the last maneuver is a spin. My idle was too low and it died. I am used to it beeing pretty quiet being that I run cans. I pulled out of the spin heading away from me, I was much further out than normal to begin with. I didn't realize I was dead stick until about half way through the 90 degree roller. At this point I am way out there. All I could think was just make sure you don't hit any fences or trees because you are not making it back. Well, I actually landed long. Myself, my caller, and a bunch of folks there were amazed at how the thing glides. Had I been flying a normal distance out I think I could have scored the roller AND got it back.
