I don't think we've had a user generated contest yet. So let's give it a try.
To help generate a little more participation we're going lax on the "rules".
Make a plane, modify a kit, buy an RTF and slap some ballon tires on it, I don't care. I want to see some creative takes on the "STOL" bush plane style aircraft.
You can use DT foam board, FFF, cardboard, whatever. The more inventive, the better.
With such relaxed regulations, you might be wondering how do you "win" this contest?
I will arbitrarily come up with categories and point systems, somewhat like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and then I'll open a new thread with links to the submitted entries. People will be able to vote for their favorite in a poll.
(I will warn you though, earthsciteach wants to win this really bad, and I hear he will do whatever it takes to beat everyone that tries to take the title here...
This can not, must not happen, so everyone that reads this must enter something, in order to keep that teach guy from fulfilling his evil dreams.)
Contest closing date will be 11:59 pm July 1st
