What is the difference between IMAA and IMAC????

Wow did I finally ask a question that no one can answer???

IMAC - International Miniature Aerobatic Club; promotes RC scale aerobatic competition. The primary voice of the scale aerobatic special interest group (SIG) of the AMA

IMAA - International Miniature Aircraft Association, part of the AMA special interest group

IMAC: As posted above, involves scale aerobatics. Pilots fly in one of 5 classes and perform pre-prescribed sequence of manuevers and are given a score of 0-10 on each. They may also fly a previously unknown sequence of manuevers and are likewise given a score of 0-10 for each. Prizes given in each class. Top 4 classes require that the model be a replica of full scale aerobatic plane and there is no minimum size requirement (most are 70"-120" span). Bottom line is that IMAC is an aerobatics competition.

IMAA: Not a competition. People who have a similar interest in flying large scale models in a non-competitive atmosphere get together at weekend meets and "sport fly". Planes must be at least 80" in span (monoplane) and 60" span (bi-plane).

Just to confuse you- most all of the planes you see at an IMAC event meet the minimum size requirements for an IMAA meet and you will see many of these IMAC planes flown at IMAA events.

Thank you Micheal that helped my out. I want to join the IMAA and one day way down the road try a IMAC. Again thank you.

No reason to wait until way down the road! Find some guys practicing for IMAC or go to a local IMAC event and you will be hooked. The starter class is called Basic and there are no restrictions as to what type of plane you fly. I have only been flying regularly for a few months and I am planning to start competing as soon as the next season rolls around.
