RE: IMAC vs Pattern
Having flown both, they are both a lot of fun..I personally prefer pattern, but plan to fly more IMAC next year. The biggest difference I have noticed is how they are judged. IMAC has much busier individual maneuvers, but they dont judge other things...such as center. As long as the maneuvers are in sequence that is fine..they don't truly judge the center of the box as is the case in pattern. I have flown a LOT of 40% planes and while they fly well, they don't touch a purpose built top of the line pattern plane for drawing lines. Part of this is they are shorter coupled..so they do snap and tumble better. You can't go wrong flying either...and both will make you a better pilot,
