RC400 IMAC 2006

A few pictures from our first contest.

In the early part of 2005 Dave Dietrich called me and asked me if I would be interested in helping him put on an IMAC contest at the RC400 Club. I hesitated at first as I knew I had a very busy year ahead of me, but I thought about it and agreed to help out. James Bisson was also on board, and between the three of us, we put together the first IMAC contest at the RC400 club.
Mother nature did not cooperate with us on Saturday, and forced us to cancel the first day of flying, which was a little disheartening for our first contest. Although the Saturday night made up for it in a small way, as most of the competitors joined us at the Kelsey's in Barrie, for a great night of food, drinks, and laughs...A real good time was had by all.
The next morning, mother nature decided to give us a break. With a little perseverance we managed to squeeze in three rounds for all the competitors. In the end It turned out to be a success with many fond memories for all who attended. Special thanks to John Sharpless, and Mike Elder who came all the way from Florida to attend our contest. John who is the owner of Aerotech-rcmodels, also donated a kit for our contest. We can't thank him enough for his contributions. As well a special thanks to all our sponsors and friends who helped out.
