Default Mini Imac would you play?

Thinking of trying to run a local club contest using the following rules. Looking for any feed back on this idea before I envest a ton of time in this project.

Mini-IMAC
Are you interested in learning and competing in Scale Aerobatics but don’t want to invest the time and money required for a large gas IMAC plane? Do you own a small aerobatic “park flyer” and want to try your hand at competing or just develop you precision flying skills? If you answered yes then Mini-IMAC is for YOU!
The rules are very simple:

• Electric airplanes only

• Maximum of a 2200mah 3s Li-Po battery is allowed; other than that – any airframe you desire may be used (aerobatic airplanes will of course be the preferred option.)

• IMAC rules will be used; in the first season we will fly the Basic and Sportsman classes; others may be added depending on interest

• Contests will be run the same as a full IMAC contest using the IMAC scoring program

• Each contest will count for the point series and a champion in each class will be crowned in September

• The contests will only be held if winds are less than 20km/h

• MAAC membership will be REQUIRED

• Boot camps and info sessions will be held this winter

The IMAC sequences and rule book can be found on the IMAC website: www.mini-iac.com
Examples of recommended airframes:
Any of the small E-Flight, Fliton etc scale aerobatic airframes (Extra 260, 330, Edge), 3D-Hobby Shop scale aerobatic planes, E-Flight Brio, Precision Aerobatics Katana MD, etc.
Remember there is a 2200mah 3s MAXIMUM battery size rule – so this will effectively limit the size of plane you can use.
