Default RE: IMAC vs Pattern


ORIGINAL: vertical grimmace


One is just slightly less boring than the other!
I supposed both could be a bit boring to watch for the average spectator. But, the average spectator probably has absolutely no clue what is actually going on.

I spent the entire summer trying to perfect the Imac basic routine, probably 150 flights, and never got bored, and never was satisfied with my performance. This was just practice, never got around to competing, yet.

Considering there are 5 levels of Imac competition, and every level gets a new routine every year, factoring in different wind conditions every flight, etc., I don't see how it could ever become boring. Unless you are just soooo good that it no longer is a challenge for you. That seems impossible to me.

What got boring to me, was boring holes in the sky. Practicing Imac has given me a purpose and direction to my flying, and from the comments I've gotten from my flying friends, I have benefitted greatly.

I've even gotten 3 of them interested in Imac, and we plan to compete next summer.
