This is by far the most welcoming forum I have found. I truly enjoy the people on here. As much as I like to pick on him (although, he usually starts it), Fred does do a fantastic job. He puts a lot of thought into how interactions and involvement can be improved with forum members. This contest is an example. When we were discussing this, I had very specific rules in mind in terms of wingspan, power systems, etc. This pains me so, but FM was right to say, "just build something that looks like a bush plane!"
I believe this is the first "contest" that has gotten off the ground (rimshot, please). Its great to see the involvement that it has generated. Now, what are we going to do next???
