FAI F3AL---Pattern IMAC combined

[Troy Newman]

I would say the answer is no!...but on the other hand the way we ran it...it
was a round of pattern then a round of IMAC the pattern flyers judged the
IMAC guys and vice versa...so no the two different models were not in the
air at the same time.

Nor would they need to be in the air at the same time...routine situation is
F3A and Masters don't fly at the same time. So why would IMAC and pattern
need to fly at the same time...by the way we ended at a decent time of day
on Sunday completed 5 rounds and held a Free-style event that was open to
both Pattern and IMAC pilots....with the pattern and or IMAC models.


Worked very well.
