Very helpful video thanks. Now can you do the Scat sequence for us SoCal guys?

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Being a newbi IMAC guy myself, I have only practiced a few basics. But I must say the hardest part is keeping it all straight, its keeping it from getting out too far, keeping loops round, and all lines straight. Ill be flying and Ryan will say add some left rudder, then its add some of this. That is what makes it good, knowing what to add and how to keep everything clean.

:D

Glad the vid is helping some out!! Next one will be better yet;)

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

keep it up John.

Wish there was something where the move was performed and someone did commentary over it explaining how the move is done. That would be ultimate for newbies like me.

:)

We will figure out a way, I dont know how I could add it to the existing vid, probably have to be standing close enough to hear him next time.

BasinBum, where can I find the SCAT sequence?

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

I haven't looked at the latest version yet, the PC at work won't let me :(

I don't think you're going to be able to stand close enough to get a clear narration using the built in mic on the camera without either causing a distraction or having the pilot or antenna obscuring the view.

If you want the narration 'as it happens' you'll probably need to plug in a clip on mic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have another (somewhat related) request: I've got a digital 8 camcorder I've had for a while and a copy of DV studio. As you've got some expereince on this subject, I'd be interested to know the steps in transferring the video and getting it onto a web page... Perhaps a thread on posting RC videos?

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

You post the question, and we will try to answer it!

I showed up at the field to fly last month and they had a pre-basic and basic event. I figure what the heck and entered pre-basic with my funfly somethin extra and took 3rd ( I showed up too late to practice the sequence). It was a real learning experience and opened my eyes to IMAC flying instead of just punching holes in the sky.

Now that I have a 300s extra 1/4 scale I figure I'll practice the basic pattern for the next event and seeing the video was very helpful. As busy as our field is virtually no one flies IMAC and I didn't know how different a Humpty should look from a sharks-tooth.

Thanks.

Ryan and John,

Very nicely done, thank you! Keep up the good work. We are all looking forward to future productions! :)

JohnVH, I thought you were cool and all, then I see a Saleen Mustang on your site...the just shoots down your credibility man! j/k Now if you had a T/A on there, it would all be different.

Video looks pretty good man.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Stallion_51, sorry buddy, my blood is blue;) And my car is FAST and QUICK

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

BasinBum, looks like the SCAT sequence is very similar to IMAC, just mostly different order of the maneuvers. Just remember to make them big and don't rush yourself. If we do another vid it would probably be another IMAC sequence, this time talking through the maneuvers. Probably Sportsman or Intermediate, plus a few words in the beginning on aircraft setup.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

FAST and QUICK too? That's impressive, mine is fast but not that quick... :o

But then, it's only a GT convertible..... :rolleyes:

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

FWIW, it is street legal, runs in the 10's at the track at 126mph in the 1/4, and is all motor. The other stang is a collectable.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Very nice video JohnVH, That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks,

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Does one exist for Sportsman?

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Not yet, talk Flyfalcons into flying it and Ill tape and edit it;)

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

I can do one if there is interest. We learned a few things doing Basic so hopefully the next one will be a little better.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Ryan-

by all means do it, its excellent!

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

I would like to see on for the Sportsman routine!
Thanks

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

If you guys have the time, i would like to see the sportsman as well.

Thanks!

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

I would like to see the unlimited!:)

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Still no support for the apple computer I use. Windows media player will be updated in the fall is what I am hearing. I got to see that vidio on my Moms computer and guys and you did a fine job. RD and I were just commenting on that at the field today. keep them coming. :D Use a compression codec that everyone can see if you can.

Joe :)

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Well, we will probably do more. Ryans on a busy schedule now so we will see.

As far as editing, very very few are not able to view them as it is, this is just how my movie maker spits them out.

Hi:

I saw on the first page there was someone suggesting to have this IMAC pattern recorded on RF G2 and posted. I think it´s a great idea. That way we all could see what the imputs on the controls are for every manouver.
Just a suggestion. Anyway, thanks for the video. I think it´s great.

That is a good idea!

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

I'll see what I can do about getting together with John to shoot a sequence vid. I just spent a few days on the road at an IMAC event and am getting into the really busy season at work, but I'll try to get a vid done in a timely manner.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Lets see the unlimited sequence flown..... hehe

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

We flew the Sportsman sequence for the camera today; hopefully we'll have it up sometime soon. Not really my best performance but you'll get an idea of what it should look like. We only did one 'take' so hopefully it turned out okay.

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

It will go up tomorrow afternoon:D

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Ryan, would like to get together to get some practice in for Mollala. When will you be out at the field? If you aren't planning to go to Cour Di Lane, then I may skip as well. It will be Ethan vs. Potato :-)

Hey John, after seeing the speedometer, you could be down here in a jiffy to pick up the trailer :)

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Ahhh, been looking at my Gallery were ya?;)

I have the sportsman vid done, just trying to find somewhere to put it so everyone can see it!

Maybe you guys can help me out here. I am flying the Sportsman but I don't compete, only for my pleasure. So because I don't compete, I would like to modify the routine in the same difficulty as the Sportsman but with more interesting maneuvers.

I like to fly specific sequences to keep up with decent flying.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Post the sportsman routine in another thread!

IMAC beginners.......2003 Basic sequence now online
 

Thats not the point, I have to put the video on the net before anyone can see it, I cant just attach an 7.5mb attachment here...


I think I found a spot, will see how long it lasts. Look for the sportsman thread.
