    IMAC at small field

    Awesome! Here is my take on the field question... I would see if you could get a couple seasoned IMAC pilots to stop by and take a look and go from there... Pushing an IMAC contest into a field that is not "right" for it is really just asking for trouble....... Yes we do have an ACS.... but...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Be VERY careful using counting. Say you are on an upline with an element.... and you count before the element and count the same after the element... sure the time is the same, but I'll bet the airplane is slowing down... so DISTANCE... and that is what is judged... will not be the same...

    Futaba setup questions

    Expo is totally personal preference. I run quite a bit more expo on my IMAC planes than I do on others....but... a while back I learned that setting Expo to roughly half of the throw percentage is a good start. ie: throw is 50%, set expo to 25% (and correct...it is negative on Futaba)...

    Tygon and a B&B clunk... Tygon is replaced once a year.... I have seen someone get a dead stick.... on an upline... seems the clunk fell to the front of the tank on a downline... and stayed there. our downlines will never be long enough to run out of fuel
