If they have plans on an announcement date I wish they would tell us. I'm starting to think that they have canceled the contest and are just trying to think of what to tell everyone. If they started counting votes a week and a half ago they should be done by now. I just don't understand why they can't say something definitive. Most people avoid giving a definite answer because of a problem they don't want to discuss, or because they don't know anything either and don't want to admit it. If all is well though this has got to be a record for longest r/c contest of all times. This is worse than when I was a kid waiting for Christmas. At least I knew what date Christmas was .
