This is awesome guys!! What a great way to finish out phase 1! :applause:
Welcome aboard! You're a little late to hit the Phase 1 deadline (it was 12/31/2017) but you are absolutely in time for the Phase 2 part of the fun so build away! And don't forget to start up a build thread on your project and post a link to it here so we can all follow along.
Welcome aboard! And talk about a surprise entry - from silence to 'boom - here's an awesome flying plane just in time for the deadline' in one post!
Excellent! Everyone should have a couple of those parachute guys to drop from planes
Awesome! So happy you were able to get this worked up so quickly! It's a really wacky design and it's going to look so cool in the air!
Yes, we'll allow the entry under 'local time rules' Seriously, this is an amazing design to pull off in foam board, and the 3D printed elements just push it over the top! Now we need to see a painted up pretty version at FliteFest! :applause:
You're welcome! It's been a great experience so far - and we're not done yet!
Next up on my end is getting the scoring underway for Phase 1. I've been able to recruit a couple helpers for scoring and expect to have a package out to them by tomorrow so we can get this part rolling. If anyone else is interested in joining in as a scoring helper, please send me a PM in the next day or two. To set expectations, judging helpers are not allowed to score their own entry, and scores will be mathematically normalized between judges to account for variations in scoring.
My commitment to the community is to get Phase 1 scoring complete by the end of January so we can all celebrate these awesome projects by some truly creative mad genius builders and designers.
Phase 2 will kickoff as soon as FliteTest announces dates for the next FliteFest event at which point I'll be recruiting local CD (Contest Director in AMA parlance) and opening up event specific challenge threads for localized encouragement and smack talk. That process will repeat for each FliteFest held in 2018.
Builders - if you haven't completed your design or flight yet, please keep going!! All entries started in Phase 1 can be included in the Phase 2 events, even if the plans/video/etc weren't completed in time for Phase 1 scoring. We all want to see these crazy planes in the air, and to celebrate everyone having success designing and building their own DTFB planes from scratch.
THANK YOU to everyone for participating on this crazy ride - it's been a HUUUUGE amount of fun! :applause:
