    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    Earle, this site is PG-13! Nothing so sexy should be shown in public! @Silver Fox regarding judging schools, have you ever considered teaming up with IAC and running one judging school? it's a dot in the sky after all, full scale or models, the criteria should be the same, no? IAC also...

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    Brian, I agree that a scale performance category would be interesting and would certainly make IMAC even more like full scale IAC aerobatics. My idea in the other thread was a displacement/weight/wingspan restriction to keep power to weight values similar to full scale planes. @Pistolera...

    I'm planning to be there during the day on Friday but as it is now I've got to head to London in the evening so I won't be able to post coverage until sometime Saturday afternoon. If my schedule changes then I'll try to do a full day of seeing the show and bring back coverage for you guys...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    sorry to take your thread off topic Matt! @IMAC FANATIC how about you start a new thread for the conversation about scale power for IMAC?

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    full scale owners can barely afford being underpowered! i can't imagine how expensive 'overpowered' would be! i've kicked around the idea of fielding a more scale (power and performance) aerobatic plane and trying IMAC with it. i've always wanted to give it a try but haven't been able to find...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    Matt, My biggest gripe and the biggest turn off for me is the power being totally out of scale. A good acro pilot is a specialist in energy management, sure there are some full scale aircraft that are very overpowered in the lower classes, but the modern IMAC planes are not even close to...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    If I could get Monokote from 1988 I'd go with that in a heartbeat! Today's product isn't quite the same but it is still remarkably shiny and durable.

    Scale Scratch built Grumman FM-2 Wildcat

    i might be needing a similar set of gear like that if i can sufficiently grow a set and get to making a plan of attack! what scale does a 105" wingspan make it? and how much of a windmill will it need up front?

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    i probably won't try the valuehobbies material this time around. maybe another project in the future but for now it'll be monoxxxx or ultraxxxx. Does one or the other do any better in the sun?

    AMA and Multirotors

    those altitudes are correct but the regs go further to say that in other areas minimum safe altitude is the altitude that allows to you make a safe landing in the event of power loss. so with that even 100' or 200' could be deemed safe provided a landing could be made. also, a big thing to...
