enjoyed the site. intrested in anything to do with r/c aircraft. in the process of finishing a cap 232 and enjoying every minute of it. this is my first large scale airplane, and its maiden flight should be intresting but looking forward to it. I have only been in the hobby for three yrs currently flying a heavy astro hog. very honest aircraft, but was forced to increase from a .40 thunder tiger to a .61 thunder tiger, making the plane unfortunately even heavier, but much faster and powerful. if anyone has any hints or tricks about construction or flying of the cap 232 please feel free to e-mail me, I would love to chat about this awsome aircraft.

I'm seeking information on the North American NA-50. This aircraft was build in 1938 as a single seat fighter by North American for export. It was built with T-6 parts modified to enhance proformance. Seven were built, and I have pictures of one at the Scottsdale, AZ Air Fare 10/17/98. Need info as to spec's.Thanks

Just bought a Zenoah G-38. Would like to build a Spitfire, about 7 foot span. I am an experienced modeler in RC planes up to .60 size sport aerobatic planes such as the Sig Kougar. I'm looking for plans, or information on what is typically used for firewalls on this size planes. If I can't find plans for this plane in this size, intended for these engines, I may try to design my own. Again, this is something I've been doing for years in the smaller size range, but I'm sure I'd build either a "brick" or a too weak plane if I just started cold. I really don't want to build a kit for some other plane just to get a feel for building models this size. Don Weigt AMA 17042

Be sure and note on your flying schedule for next season that our Chapter 593 is hosting the Rally of Giants at the Midlothian / Waxahachie (say that 3 times fast) Municipal Airport on June 9 - 12. This is a real nice facility which was built to serve the needs of the Super Conducting Super Collider. It's an active airport with approximately 4 takeoffs and landings a day. It is located about 2 miles west of Waxahachi on Texas Hwy 287. This is just south of the Dallas / Ft. Worth area. Yall Come, Ken Spears IMAA2589 Since 1982

Hi Guys: I feel the next election will be of major importance to the IMAA. Not only do we need to be sure to VOTE when the time comes, but we need to insure that every race has at least two entrants. There really should be no more uncontested spots. To theose who might be interested in running for director, please contact Red Schofield at redscho@gnv.fdt.net.

Your IMAA Board of Directors are wrestling with whether they should remain a Special Interest Group (SIG) within the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Remaining a SIG requires that all IMAA members (in the US) must be AMA members. Contact your District Directors at once as the decision deadline is Aug 1.

We went to the Oakdale,CA. IMAA Fly-in and flew our 1/4 scale Cub with the PlaneTalk Airborne Video System on board. Everybody wanted to climb inside the cockpit,so we ran 3 VR Glasses, one 9" TV and a 4" LCD monitor to handle the want-to-be 1/4 scale pilots. We had no one get air sick this time, must have had a group of F16 veteran pilots at this fly-in! We will be at the next local IMAA fly-in, meet us there and see what it's like to be in a spin from the pilots point of view. I'll bring the video equipment you supply the air sick bags!

Primary tasks include working with tech inspectors and recording of each entries stats, and taking shifts at the fuel dock, radio impound and weight stations. This is a perfect way to see what really goes on inside Giant Scale Unlimited racing and you will have the best seat in the house to watch the action! Compensation will be lunch on all work days and free admission to the entire event for you and a guest. Thanks in advance for your help... for more information please call or e-mail your phone number. See `ya at the races.

Glad to see the web page running again. This is a space where the members can truly build their own space and do it in real time. Keep the web site at any cost! I'm (very) slowly building a Pietenpol Air Camper. 84 inches, OS 90 FS, cable controls, etc. Bernie Pietenpol lived and worked just a few miles from my home in Rochester and his son lives here in Rochester. I would enjoy hearing from Piet fans out there.

Looking for comments on: MIDWEST CAP 232 vs CARDEN 35% Cap 232. Can the Carden do anything the Midwest can not? What if any significant differences are there? I have seen Mike McConville do more with the MW 232 than most people can do with bigger aircraft. If money was not an issue I would get the Carden, but it is. They are both good aircraft but I do not want to be performance limited. Any comments from people who have flown either one of these would be appreciated. Thanks

Gainesville, FL USA - June 24, 1998 at 17:37.6
Several inquiries have been made regarding acquiring copies of the Constitution & By-laws. I recalled seeing them published in High Flight and found them in the Spring Issue 1995, Vol. 16, No. 1, if anyone is interested. Of course, there may have been amendments since that time. If so, I think it would be prudent to publish an update version for all members to study. Most organizations usually supply members with information packets with such data; however, that can be rather expensive depending on membership turn-over. Publication periodically, say every two years, should be sufficient for information purposes. A copy of the Articles of Incorporation would be useful also.

Back in May I posted a note asking for help in locating Don Godfrey's address. I appreciate the response of those that tried to help. I did locate Don's current address (he is not into computers yet) and we have corresponded concerning the dilemma with IMAA. I also talked briefly with Bob Dean last week at The Ralley of the Giants in Danville, VA. I was encouraged by Bob's comments and believe that the problems are on the mend. Withholding dues is not the answer to the problems at hand. Participating in a responsible way at election time with your vote and providing feedback to the Director you elect is the appropriate way of assuring that IMAA is the fun-flying organization that attracted you to join in the first place. The ballot box is your most effective way to institute change and you should be knowledgeable about whom you are voting to represent your interests.

Hats off to the City of Danville and Buddy Green and his team for organizing the best IMAA event I have ever attended. The Danville Rally went off without a hitch and everybody I talked to had a great time. I especially want to thank the guys in the flight line "tower", the tech team and the guys in radio impound. Mostly thankless, but key long hour jobs. It was a great, safe event with lots of great no wait flying. Thanks again. I also got to spend some time with Sam Wright, our new High Flight editor. We are in good hands... Sam is doing a great job!

I do sincerly hope the conflicts are cleared up quickly. There is just to much to do to let this side track us. The website and the magazine should compliment each other, neither dominating the other. There are times when news is timely and can't wait; at those times the website is the ideal vehicle to get the news out quickly, in these cases it is also members responsibility to print these items out and share them with our flying buddies that don't have net access. It is also a go way for the District VP's to get news out that is pertinent to thier disctict and should USE IT! Well, back to the building board, 1/4 Clipped Wing Cub. George

With any organized club or organization you will have individuals or groups of individuals which want thing done their way. There are also egos and jealosies to put up with. I would think that what ever rules, or Bi-laws that govern IMAA would be used or amended to dictate how High Flight and the web site are used or run. I think the IMAA web site is great. On the other hand, I liked many of the advertisements on giant scale in High Flight, but over-all, the magazine is a bit dull. A change of editor was needed. I might suggest that the new editor put in a survey form to get some insight as to what the readers would like to read. Thank you

Nice to see that the guest book is back as it was intended to be used. Welcome Home! I am even more pleased to see that the latest fracas didn't cause the loss of a single member. Now we need to restructure and move forward.

Greetings giant scalers! I'm pleased to see the guest book operational again. As an Assistant Director for District VII I'm a firm believer in OUR organization being one of fun, service to it's members and professional in all respects. If you fly off water you're invited to our Eighth Annual Paul Bunyan Float Fly on June 13 and 14. Our site is a beautiful one located within the city of Bemidji. It's an AMA sanctioned event, all AMA and IMAA members are welcome! Drop me an E-mail and I'll put you one the mailing list. Smooth Flying!

Attended a great meeting of chapter 617 yesterday at the former Canadian Forces Base at the Downsview Airport. It look very positive that we will have a super field for IMMA members on this site before too long. This will be in conjunction with the Toronto Aerospace Museum currently being established. We are Chapter 617. Hear there was some problem re the Website - can some- one fill me in ? Tks. John Rossetti

Hallelujah! Now I can get back to Spacewalker! I hope we all learned something over the past few weeks. It's been a study in organizational physiology worthy of a doctoral thesis. Hopefully we will never again miscalculate the power of timely communication or fail to employ it for the betterment of this fine organization.

The IMAA page is an extremely useful tool for verify dates of events, by laws and pretty much anything else you will need to know. I personally like the fact that I can download the membership form for friends so I won't have to tear it out of my copy of High Flight magazine.Keep up the good workSam Wright, New Editor-High Flight magazine

As one of the critics of the Orlando action, I am very happy to see the guest book in operation again! The IMAA site is my first bookmark, and I view it daily. I'm certain many, many more memgers have access to the site than are registered with Red Scholfield. This guest book can be a meaningful tool for instant communication. I would hope that all will respect each other, and will not get into slama, threats, intimidations, etc. that will cause their message to be refused or the site to be terminated once again.
