Greetings,

I apologize if this was asked before but I could not find any post regarding my question.

I have three seasons of flying experience and built two kits, 4*40 and Venture 60. I was interested in practicing and entering the Basic competition class. I was wondering if you could suggest a variety of competition scale planes that are either good kits to build or ARFs.

I was thinking of obtaining a plane with a wingspan approximately 70 inches. Is this an acceptable plane size for basic and possibly the next step of IMAC competitions?

I have been eye-balling GREAT PLANES EXTRA 300S 60. With a 0.91 4-stroke or O.S. .61FX 2-stroke(leaning towards the latter)

Thank you in advance for your information.

Matt

Matt,

You are very lucky to be right near a very active group of IMAC competitors in the Columbus area. You will find Kurt Koelling and Lou Matustik both flying at the Westerville club. Go find those guys and talk with them - or anyone else at Westerville that flies IMAC. You will not only get some good airframe suggestions, but you will get LOTS of help once flying season come back.

Drop me a note if I can help you with anything, and in the meantime, have some fun with the simulator.

Ken,

Yes, I am familiar with them and the group. A great group of information.

I just like putting my bait in different ponds to see what the other opinions are

Looks like this pond just had one wizen ole lunker that sent you to fish other ponds!
