IMAC UK Clitheroe 2nd & 3rd August 2008 |
|
The first weekend in August has been for many years our annual trip to Woodvale for the IMAC competition and show. Unfortunately 2008 has brought the end of an era for us and possibly for the Woodvale show. IMAC made the decision not to hold a competition there this year as time restrictions were placed on them so it wasn’t practical. Unfortunately for the Woodvale show other restrictions such as no Public Camping also put a lot of people of. Woodvale was as much about the social aspect as the Competition/flying so camping on site was a big part of it, with most things in life, things move on, let’s hope they have a change of heart for next year. |

 I recently got a nice box of 'stuff' to put together. This is what I found on the box:
Designed by world-class aerobatic competitor Mike McConville the new 27% CAP232G features the stunning multi-colour “diamond” trim scheme of Pete Goldsmith's famous Tournament of Champions CAP232. The perfect blend of form and function makes the CAP232G an outstandingly aerobatic large-scale model, being perfectly suited to both large two-stroke or four-stroke engines and 45cc to 50cc petrol engines.
It is constructed entirely from carefully selected lightweight balsa and laser-cut plywood ensuring an accurate and durable airframe; essential for precise crisp aerobatics. This is then covered in UltraCote® for a top quality professional finish. Adding to the CAP’s stunning looks is the hand polished aluminium landing gear and a scale tail-wheel assembly; a miniature work of art in its own right that adds a real touch of class to this superb model. Transporting the Cap to and from the flying field could not be easier thanks to the removable two-piece wing and stabiliser. Speedy assembly is assured thanks to the pre-painted fibreglass engine cowling and wheel spats, tinted canopy, photo illustrated assembly guide and top quality comprehensive hardware pack.
The CAP232G delivers superior scale aerobatic performance, outstanding scale looks and everything you could want from a large aerobatic model and more! There you go, could not say it better myself. As usual, there is a small amount of work required before you go to the field. The reason is that manufacturers know about our summers, and they want to help us while away a few hours during the inevitable downpour.
