2018 Flite Test Forum Challenge: WWII Design & Build

[rockyboy]

There is going to be a similar build challenge next year, it is looking like it is going to be fantasy craft for the next challenge. If you have a build that you just need a reason to build it, just check out this thread.

Yep - exactly what he said!

What about the DO 335? Is it considered exotic and prototype enough?

My wife passed away unexpectedly 4 days after I made the above post, so my son and I will not be part taking in this challenge. We will probably be coming to flite fest though, and hope to see some of your entries.

I am so sorry for your loss, if you need any of us we are here for you.

After I realized that there is not gonna be an ffw this year, I decided to leave the competition. I don’t think anybody will care though

 

[Grifflyer]

I'm sad to hear that you're leaving I was looking forward to seeing an X-21. Hopefully next year there will be a FFW and you can enter in next years competition, I believe it's going to be about sci-fi type planes......I think.

Hi, ya'll! A while ago I said I was going to build the Lockheed L-133 for the competition but noted that life was going to get pretty busy. Well due to a lot of uncertainties this summer, I am unfortunately leaving the competition. I wish the best of luck to y'alls and can't wait to see what you build!

When the forum migrated I lost track of some threads. There were Axis & Allies team discussions, logos, etc for a while that seem to have gone quiet. Is there a time set aside at Flite Fest Ohio where we're planning to get together and fly?

My XP-81 v2 is sitting next to me in cutout parts, so I'll finish building it when I get there but it won't be very scale in appearance. But it should fly and drop bombs.

This did go a big quiet with the move. The big thing we need now as a group is a volunteer to help run the in-person events at FFO since I won't be able to attend.

Any volunteers?

 

[Fidget]

Unfortunately I have several deadlines and a business trip yet before FFO, or I would do it.

I would love to volunteer as the in person organizer, unfortunately I have my own event to organize. I can however email Andre and see if he can send out an email to all the volunteers asking if a few could help.

[Fidget]

I'll be there with the XP 81, in original late WWII "Waterproof Foamboard with footballs as bombs" livery.

 

[Zephyr1]

Awesome! I really want to see the XP-81!!
