** Novice Class will be offered for this contest (Saturday ONLY)
The novice class is designed for pilots who would like to try IMAC in a stress free, non-competitive environment. Novice class will fly on Satuday only. Aircraft for this class DOES NOT need to be a scale aerobatic aircraft, it just needs to be able to perform basic aerobatic manuevers. Pliots in this class will fly the 2021 Basic sequence along with the Basic class and will be judged and scored bu IMAC certified judges. Novice pilots will receive tips, techniques and advice/feedback after their class is complete. This is a fantastic way to be involved in what precision aerobatics is all about, without the stress of competition within the contest. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. As a disclaimer, there is no antidote for the IMAC bug bite, it's simply art in the sky!
Food will be available via donations on Saturday & Sunday. An event dining menu and approximate times of meal service shall be posted on the IMAC NW forus & Flying Giants NW IMAC pages. If you are going to dimne with us, PLEASE RSVP so we can have an accurate head count becuse if not there may not be enough food. Please inform us as to how many will be eating and which meals, this can be done via an email to the CD. If you have never been to this event, ask around about the meals. I'm willing to bet, you will not go away hungry or dissatisfied. Thank you for your support!
