Within about 3 NM of KW Airport - Controlled air space - Advanced RPAS required - the SOC issued by MAAC stated 200 ft ceiling.

Great field, great club members - flew there myself for 8-10 years. Sadly I can only taxi around now.

Hopefully we will follow the US in that if you are at a sanctioned field, there will be a higher altitude limit, and some of the other restrictions will be waived.
But that is all yet to be established. PIA when having to try and enter holiday schedules, etc.
Being in Cambridge, look into some US contests. You will need to do the TRUST course (free) through the FAA, buy AMA Insurance and register your aircraft, but it is not that bad.
AMA also has a 3 month membership trial period for pretty cheap if you wanted to try it out.
If you are flying at an AMA approved (sanctioned) site, you avoid having to install RFID as well.

Having said that, Basic and Sportsman can easily be flown under 400' if you were looking to practice.

Yes I flew the basic on my own last year and it kinda looked like I was attempting to fly a routine. I worked with Bill Teeter just before Covid. He is the one responsible for my interest in IMAC. Been working the 2024 routine on real flight 8 this winter so I can remember the routine. Once I can get outside, I will start practicing.

Hi Dale,

What Class were you going to start with? If BASIC you should be able to practice that within the current 400ft ceiling Restriction. Have you tried flying anything yet?

Hey Brendan,

The Sequence committee has been working on them. Basic & Sportsman are with the Board Of Directors for Final approval and I believe INT is being submitted tomorrow. We are working on ADV next then UNL last. But for INT, ADV & UNL we have to do 2 KNOWNS as we have to have the ALT for each of those classes for the IMAC Contests that CAN'T have Rollers in them.

Hi Roger,

I posted this when I use to have Admin Rights on here and tried changing it a few times, unsuccessfully but I see I now can.

Just out in the garage working on resurrecting an old IMAC plane right now but I'll take a look at it tonight.
