One thing to keep in mind is that when you ask a question, and sometimes when you don't ask, you will get lots of different opinions. Be careful who you listen to. I've never had the pleasure of so much bad advice, wrong answers and inconsistent thoughts in my whole life until I started flying IMAC.
Of course the same could be said for the internet in general.
My thoughts......never take advice from someone you are consistently beating.
Sam, I agree with that. I have also tried to offer advice to people at my field, about various things , not just IMAC stuff, but I wait until they ask or I notice they are struggling. What is a real turn off is when someone asks for my advice and doesn't heed it. I can understand if they don't agree with how I suggest to do a hammerhead, or other maneuver (understandably, as this is my first year ever venturing into any kind of precision aerobatic competition). But if I see they have left thrust instead of right thrust, or elevator halves that have noticeably different throws (you know - basic stuff that we all know is not right), or their plane won't roll axially to save it's own life - and I point it out and suggest that they fix that before worrying about doing the perfect loop and they come back the next weekend and haven't done it, then offering any advice to them about flying that plane straight is a complete waste of my time, you know?
