RE: IMAC "BOX" SIZE
Hi Bobby
I think you're right, FAI will dictate what you do in Imac to some degree. I suspect you'll have some kick and scream all the way, but it will happen. We had the same thing when pattern went from AMA style to Turn Around years ago. It fractured Pattern for years and a lot of guys dropped out over it. Most of them were guys that couldn't or wouldn't adapt. I agree Imac planes tend to fly slower than most Pattern planes and the box isn't a problem, yes I've flown my sequences with a 33% Edge inside the 60 degree box. My opinion that the rules in Imac were changed to fit the airplanes rather than enforce the rules and make the airplanes fit stands. If not why was the 75 degree box done away with? Why was centering done away with? I see a repeat of what happened to us in the pattern world happening all over again with Imac.
