Training and Judges Weekend 2012
We've been working hard on plans for the training and judges weekend.
As usual it will focus on introducing IMAC flying to new pilots but it should also be useful for experienced IMACers. Rather than just flying this years schedules we've put together four training sequences. They focus on the classes of maneuvres so we can get a good understanding of the downgrades and technique required for each in turn.
Here is a preliminary agenda for the weekend. Obviously the times will depend on the number of people attending.
