I actually posted this question in the "
2018 Flite Test Forum Challenge: WWII Design & Build" thread and thought it might get lost in there so I copied the post out into it's own thread. Here it is:
I was just curious, what do other forum members think of the idea of adding quarterly design & build challenges that have a simpler format and possibly have a flight component to the challenge as well?
for example:
2018 1st Quarter Design & Build Challenge...
List of build constraints:
- Build an RC foam board electric powered model airplane
(original or modeled after a particular design)
- Max 2 sheets foam board
- Flitetest build techniques
- Power system similar to FT power pack A,B or C
Flight Component:
- Take off from ground.
- 5 touch and goes.
- 4 inside loops.
So, the participant would register their build thread, like the annual contest and once they completed their design would video their best flight that contained all the requirements for the flight component. They would then submit their video. At the end of the quarter when all videos have been submitted, those who submitted a video and completed the flight components could be awarded a printable certificate for that quarter.
Would others be interested in something like this?
