Congrats to all that participated. And special contragts to AJC and Matchlessaero for hauling in the votes. There is a lot of eye candy in the pics of the models for all that participated.

I'd love to see the Altair done to around 280 sq inches as a scale 1/2A Texaco style model.

Status: offline 		Congratulations guys, for the ones that entered their planes, it was a learning experience and I am sure we all picked up some neat new ideas and such. For the guys who didnt make it in time, well, there will be next year (I'm in for sure ) and just start a bit earlier

Like last year, the main thing to me was to be able to justify spending time on a new model, and learning something new. I hope some of the fellows that were just watching this year build a plane for the next year's contest - its too much fun not too

Its kind of a let down in a way for this to be over for another year though.. know what I mean? The most exciting thig for me this year was to be able to share my building ideas and the process, even more than having a plane in the end, to add to my 1/2A hangar.

Oh well, next Jan isnt that far away is it??

AJC

Status: offline 		Big Congratulations to AJ, wonderful plane, wonderful design(s), wonderful workmanship! (and a good all round guy too!)

Same to Derek. That little Altair was/is wonderful. You really captured the essence of that beautiful shape. Really liked your building techniques and fuel tank experiments.

and Congrats also to everyone who worked up the guts to enter/finish something. Its not an easy thing to draw something up and throw it out there in front of the whole world for critique.
All the entries had something special about them, whether it was design work, originality, craftsmanship or just plain 'neatness'.

I really cannot wait until next year, however in the meantime, I think I will just fly my little Chipmunk and enjoy ripping it down the runway, inverted, 1 foot off the ground
