Default Pilot?

Does IMAC require a pilot figure in competition?

Thanks.

But they don't apply it.

The rules are pretty flexible as long as the CD informs AMA 30days prior and they approve it.

But here are the big ones.....


10% scale of a plane that has flown or could fly in IAC or you are not allowed to compete
3-D lifelike Pilot---1% point reduction if no pilot
instrument panel---1% point reduction if no panel (if no pilot and panel its still a 1% deduction)

The Tucson Aerobatic Shootout (TAS) is as follows

10% scale a must
Pilot ---no pilot, no fly
panel--no panel no fly

Always best to check with your CD before the event

Yes.......basic class most rules do not apply (other than flying rules like geometry)


No pilot or panel required
Your canopy can be opaque
Your plane can be anything you want.


Just fly your sequence and have fun
