After the Tournament Of Championships came to and end in 2002, the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout became one of most important RC aerobatic competitions in the world, with the best pilots gathering to compete in IMAC and freestyle.

Today, I’m talking to Bryant Mack, 2 time Invitational champion as well multiple freestyle podium finisher. In our chat, we do a deep dive on precision aerobatics and IMAC and Bryant talks about his journey to the top of the aerobatic scene. He shares his process to setup and adjust a competition winning IMAC airplane, and gives us a glimpse on his training mindset.
