Finally got round to trying the Basic schedule out on the simulator. First time I've tried any IMAC flying. I've run through it a dozen times and now feel committable enough to try it at the field. I've also memorised the schedule which helps! Your video has been really helpful in learning the manoeuvres and with positioning tips, for the next manoeuvre. I'll aim to record my first real flight and share!
Thats really great to hear Matt! I'll be interested to hear how you get on in the real world too! Well done for giving it a go & hopefully you'll keep on enjoy IMAC &more precise flying too! :)
Thanks, it takes discipline to perfect multiple maneuvers into a "routine." It's nice to have a reference for this year's schedule should I decide to be disciplined. I mostly "freestyle" with 3D, but I've got a long way to go just to keep the airplane on the lines that I set for myself.
Well I fly the Advanced schedule with a 1.5m Sebart Miss Ultimate (Electric 6S setup), won the Nats Advanced with it last year & the first comp entered this year... Lots of people fly BIG (100-200cc planes up to 3+m), but they are NOT a requirement. Basically, find a model the you will enjoy flying looking at & flying & go from there. I'd say that 6 channel is a sensible minimum, as it allows you to play with aileron differential & virtual wing incidences etc. Getting a well sorted model will help if you enter comps & have to cope with different wind conditions & perhaps a few nerves at the same time. For more info on all that sort of thing, see the trimming guide on my website: modelplanetraining.co.uk/trimming-guide/
I downloaded the sequence, but am confused by the figures you show here. They are all a mirror image of the document i got from IMAC. What am I missing?
Did you look at the whole of the download? 1st page 'A' is a description & a scoresheet. 2nd page 'B' is the sequence flown with a wind from the right (which is what I think you're looking at. 3rd page 'C' is the sequene flown with a wind from the left - As flown on the demo video. In case you downloaded anyting else, here's a link to the origin: www.mini-iac.org/downloads/sequences/2024-knowns/download?path=2024%2BBasic%2BKnown%2BSequence.pdf
@@ModelPlaneTraining Heh, there were two pages, and I just realized that there is a wind direction marker plainly visible in the upper right corner... I'm an idiot, lol! Thanks!
Hi I replaced it with an upated one. The original had the 2nd roll on the teardrop flown too ealy... The replacement is here: ruclips.net/video/j98i1hWppkw/видео.html Please feel free to subscribe to get notifications of any updates etc. Thanks

All practice is good practice Wayne. Hope you continue to enjoy the variety that IMAC adds to your freestyle flying! 👍
Really enjoy your videos, I find them really helpful and learning lots.
Thank you and happy landing 😊
Once you get past Basic, What is a good size for aircraft and how many channels for an IMAC setup on average? Thanks for any advice and great video.

@@ModelPlaneTraining , I really appreciate the reply and advice. Exactly what I was looking for.

@@ModelPlaneTraining Lol, no I didn't. It looked like a single page on my screen! I'll check it again when I get back home. Thanks!

I noticed your sportsman video is down. was it intentional?
