IMAC Bootcamp...interesting concept...

We live in Santa Claus, IN (Southern Indiana) and willing to drive a fair distance. I would like to participate in one of these ... my goal is to get some assistance starting in IMAC. I attended one contest in NC Region last year. Curtis seems to stand out by name as one of the Basic pilots and was a great help. I flew a Focus pattern plane in Basic.

Lisa bought me a H9 CAP 232G w/ DA-50 and should be ready to go this spring (B-Day and Christmas was good to me...vbg...). Not ready for a 40% IMAC plane yet...Would need a bigger truck or a trailer...

Question is where and when is a bootcamp close enough to attend. Santa Claus, IN is located 45 minutes north of Owensboro Kentucky. We plan on attending the Judging Seminar in Muncie, IN on 4/21.

About the closest one that I know of to you is outside of Cincinnati.
I think the club is in Ky or In but it is a good club.

Thanks Geistware ...

bunch of us up here in Indy fly IMAC. Bob Condra - NC Region Sportsman Champion for 2006 is one of them. you can pm me if you would like to discuss things. we will be getting together to practice and critique when the weather gets a little better. also imac judging school at ama site in muncie, indiana last weekend of april. we will all be there.

Geistware (Miles), thanks for the post. Larry - Will Berninger and I fly at the Aeromodelers club in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It isn't that close to you, but it is a fantastic field and it is very quiet which makes it perfect for practicing IMAC. Will and I will start flying probably in late March once the weather starts warming up. Just send me an email, and we can get together some weekend. I'd be glad to help you get started. Be careful, though. Next thing you know, you'll be spending all your extra time and money here. It is addictive.

Wow Ken,
That is a long drive for you!
Congratulations on your promotion!

Also, the trailer looks different but still works great.

Ken,

Thanks for the invite. We may be calling you this spring... I'll start out in Basic and see where it goes from there. We are putting together a H9 CAP 232G w/ a DA 50. I'll be buying some CF parts to replace the gear and wing tube. Haven't decided on a prop / spinner. I may decide for a 3-bladed, not sure. Looking for a good exhaust system for the DA-50 also. Any thoughts? This is my first gas plane, so I'm open for suggestions...I will say I'm an Airtronics guy though.

I've ordered Airtronic servos 94758 for A/E, 94358 for R, and 94761 for T. Getting a micro servo for the choke. Planning on a 6v regulated power w/ Lipo (undecided) still reviewing info and getting feedback before committing $$$.

Trying to get it as light as I can...

We fly out of Evansville, IN. 500ft concrete runway w/ side by side grass runway. Pretty openfield and membership is about 100. However, no one is competing in Pattern or IMAC. Many good sport pilots and much better than I. Guess we'll have to get it started... We flew at one IMAC contest last year w/ a Focus 2M Pattern plane.

Thanks for your help...

Thanks Yakmonoff...

I'm about 3 hours from Indy...We plan on making it to Muncie. We'll keep our fingers crossed....
