Morning gaRCfield...As said before at the entry level or 'Basic' IMAC you can fly just about anythig you want. The game changes though as you get into the upper levels of IMAC. Since being involved with IMAC myself I have noticed that there are about 3 planes that dominate the IMAC compitition and at some meets I go to every year you will only see 2.

By far the overwhelming, most popular plane, no matter what size is the Extra Series planes in the 260 & 300's. Next are the YAK 54's . I have seen at some of the meets and getting more popular are my choice, the Sukhoi's. The other couple of planes I have see are the Katana and the Giles.

Now you have to understand what I'm basing my observations on...I live in the Phoenix Arizona area so I do the Southwest region IMAC's and in no way have I seen all of IMAC by any means. In my region is Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado with California being the largest area and holding many meets throughout the year.

Here are a couple of photos from this season to give you an idea of what you will see when attending a normal Southwest IMAC meet. Tell me what you notice in these pictures…
