Default RE: IMAC "BOX" SIZE


Yes, im registered for the frozen toes bootcamp. Also the judgeing seminar in Fayettville. The guys i fly with are pretty current on the rules etc, but i get conflicting answers sometimes or I just dont understand exactly what they are saying. I have taken the time to read thru the rules, but I must be interpreting them differently than others. Hopefully the bootcamp & F&J seminars will clear up some of this for me. I guess my biggest misunderstanding is the airspace control deal. I feel for me anyway its more difficult to fly long distances between manuvers than to keep it in tighter. I still get my lines drawn between them, just dont feel comfortable flying 500-1000' to get to the start of the next one. It may be just something I'll have to get used to. I guess for the basic sequence anyway Im saying I can fly the entire sequence inside a 2000' "BOX" instead of pushing it out much further. Im old school, and grew up at the local airport, where everyone doing aerobatics in full scale aircraft seldom left the boundries of the airport. I guess that sticks in my mind while im flying & makes it difficult for me to comprehend why we fly so far out. I really enjoy IMAC, just dont fully understand some of it yet.....Gene
