Frankenplane - Airframes Rising from the dead!
Goal: build an airframe and maiden before MIDNIGHT OCT 27 (to give us time to vote) using parts that have been previously crashed.
Required for entry: Build log in the mad builders forum, preferably with photos following the build process, and *At least* a photo of the maiden, preferably video.
Rules:
- The airframe needs to have AT LEAST one major part in a previously crashed-and-scrapped airframe, exposed to the air while in flight (and no -- power systems, props, and radios do not count!).
- multirotors are allowed for entry
- success on maiden not required, but you at least need to try -- epic fails may be better than half-harted successes.
- MUST be completed before Midnight, OCT 27 -- upload delays for videos allowed, but keep it to a minimum (I'm looking at you Teach!)
Bonus points for: exposed past damage, seasonably appropreate decoration(as long as it doesn't hide/mimic old battle scars), or night flying (preferably creepy).
Scoring: Communistic -- we all vote, and if the benevolant dictator doesn't like the outcome, well . . .
A poll will be posted with all entrys on Oct 28, with the results taken on the morning of OCT 31st.
Throw your hat in the ring here, and start a build thread over in the mad builder's corner -- Your competition (and source of ideas to steal):
Eagle4: Sparrow v2
Foam Addict: Franken Sensei 2.0
CraftyDan: Dusty Rises from the Deep!!!!
rcspaceflight: Frankenplane(s): EDF Glider versions 1 *AND* 2
EpicFlyGuy: Franken plane Champ
Ok, people, the timer starts now . . . GO!!!!
