Flite Fest Ohio Veterans Airshow
Why?
The men and women in the armed forces of the United States give a lot, and some gave all, to defend this country and our freedom. Being part of an airshow at Flite Fest Ohio this year is the least we can do to honor all veterans who have served and those who still serve.
How YOU can Help
If you want to help honor our men and women in uniform, and those who served before them, all you would have to do is build any plane that was previously, or is still used by any branch of the U.S. military. Just to open the options a bit more, any allied airplane in WWII can also be used for this event. After the plane is built it should be decorated, whether it be a simple patriotic design or a super scale model, just make it look really cool, and here are two great examples.
I am hoping to be able to get all other planes grounded during the airshow, but I am not sure how many people are willing to participate. The more people the better chance we have to show off the planes and raise more awareness for the auction. As I mentioned after the air show is over an auction of all the airplanes will commence, with 100% of the proceeds going to support the Fisher House Foundation. The planes should be swappable if you would like to keep your more expensive electronics, servos and any other non removable electronics stay with the plane (glued in motors/escs, EDFs etc...).
UPDATE:
Flite Test is going to be supplying the power pods, (motor and esc) for every swappable entry in the air show for the raffle. This means that if your plane is swappable then all that you need to supply for your plane is the servos!
How to enter
It is simple, just make a official entry post on this thread like this...
(Your name) - (Airplane) FFAS'18
Include a brief reason for your plane choice. (Two or more people can build the multiple of the same airplane, but a variety of aircraft would be preferred)
If you enter and cannot complete the plane in time for the air show, or for some reason can not attend FFOHIO, you will not be held accountable in any way for your entry in the air show.
End Goal
The main goal of this air show is to honor veterans, to support the Fisher House Foundation, and to show all of the great things this community is capable of while supporting a good cause.
Help us out by joining today!
We all build A LOT of planes and could sacrifice some foam and servos for a good cause.
