RE: FLY RC Magazine 2007 Concours d'Elegance
At first I didn't understand what the whole "contest" was about. I was one of the many drooling over Seans new plane (even though I'd seen it before, or at least one like it) knowing he didn't build it. I was admiring all the cool glow stuff that I had just bought the month before in Japan. When it came time to vote, I voted for Mike's plane cause I knew he did the work on it. I didn't think Sean actually entered his to be voted on, I think he was just proud of his plane.
That being said, I know I am about as far away as it comes to being a builder... but I'm actually assembling and painting my 2 new planes (with help, but my hands are getting dirty... really dirty). I will enter them in the contest, but going up against the likes of other real builders, I'm pretty sure I won't win. But I, like Sean, will be proud of my planes and will want to show them off.
