I have this fantastic idea!

We're going to have the DOWNONTHEDECK WORLD'S for 4 MINUTE FREESTYLE! And, everyone that can fly a 4 Minute Free is going to be able to compete! How is that possible? Because it is going to be an email-in-your-video event!

I'll round up some sponsors (i4c is now in as a sponsor, next I'll call DA, PowerfLite, and Kangke) and great prizes... I'll get Steve Nelson (of TOC fame) to handle the judging... you start working on your 4 minute free routine and your video taping skills!

More details and information to follow. I'm thinking categories now. In addition to the main scale planes... maybe an electric category and/or funfly category. How about a Freestyle Warbird category? lol Also, please email in your feedback!

Confirmed Pilots:

Mickey Crawley
Garrett Morrison
Joe Hunt

* I'm thinking a $20 entry fee.
* Cut off date around March 1st 2003.
* Early response makes me think I'd better limit the entries to 100 overall so the thing doesn't get too big for me to handle.
* AVI or WMV format... no editing or dubbed in music. This has to be a contiguous video (realtime) with live music.
* The top 10 will get their videos posted on the site.
* All details subject to change as this thing evolves.
SPREAD THE WORD!
