Default RE: What is IMAC?

Another quick and easy explanation


IMAC=IAC

IAC is full scale aerobatics. Each pilot is given a specific set of manuevers to fly (i.e. loop, 2pt roll, etc). You know the routine ahead of time and can practice. You are judged in IMAC on how well you fly track/heading/geometry of the figures. You are judged typically by other R/C pilots from a different class. There are 5 classes you can compete in and they get more difficult as you move up.

There is also an unknown sequence that is handed out. You are not allowed to use a sim or fly the sequence. You can use a stick plane to visualize it though. You then fly it in front of the judges with no real practice.

All rules are the same for each class except for the basic class.....in this class you can fly any plane you want. There is no unknown sequence. The manuevers are not that complex.

But don't kid yourself.......IMAC is a very difficult sport! There is no shame in starting in Basic. It will teach you things you never knew about how bad you fly!
