Frankenplane -- Rise of the undead airplane -- Halloween Build Contest!!!!
- Thread starter Craftydan
- Start date
yup! got it added to the first post!
Pick a challenge appropriate to the time of year (there are plenty, or if you've got a neat idea . . . ) drum up interest, set rules, then let folks bend them (as long as it's in good spirits). Just make sure there's enough time and enough publicity -- I shoulda hit up FM to sticky this thread when it started -- might have had more participation.
From FB posts FM was busy this morning cleaning zombie carnage out of his woods. I'd bet he'll take a short breather, but I'd be surprised if you don't start seeing him around in the next few days.

Make a Santa plane it has to look like Santa and fly as well or a plane to carry Santa like josh subjected in the turkey plane episode www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtgtcZ8C7UY

Suggested I hate auto correct
I'm not opposed to a Santa build but how about a turkey lift like HK's beerlift? But we don't limit it to only multirotors. Planes are welcome as well. Turkey size doesn't win, most inventive wins. We should have a minimum size/weight for the bird but basically the airframe should be scratchbuilt which is typical for most muli's (no RTF multi's).
Santa build would give us more time though...
Or a Thanksgiving themed plane/multi build. Really make a turkey fly?

I'm down as long as you don't call it a festivus compitition -- I Hate Seinfeld . . .
Wonder if we could convince chad to post a notification on the FB feed? Would likely get several creative entries from some new faces, if not some new onlookers/lurkers.

When will the exact deadline be?
Thinking Dec 31st for the deadline and the second or third of January for voting to happen. Got the thread here:http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?6045-Next-Holiday-Contest
Sorry, Dan. I just meant you are probably on FB more than I am, since I'm not. lolI'm not friends with him anymore than you are
might hit him up for it with the link in the "ask chad" thread and/or nudge FM . . . when he gets back.
I'll hit him up on the ask Chad and I guess we can have Fred work his magic if nothing else.
Did someone call?
lol Speak of the devil and he appears...
Just making sure you ok, brother. Haven't seen you around much. And we also have a question...Can we get a sticky on this? http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?6045-Next-Holiday-Contest

I like this idea as it will allow us noobs to equally participate. I don't have any crash parts for a Frankenplane and all my flights to date resemble dropping a frozen turkey.
How do you think we came up with all those parts for the frankenplane
The idea is always "the more the merrier", but you're right, it caught some of us short on "raw material".
If we do this again next year, might go for "salvaged parts and/or parts from different airframe designs", so someone could see how a spitfire fairs with a rescaled FT flyer wing . . . (I don't expect well, but the result *would* be entertaining).

An FT Frankenswap would be fun. And no hot glue, only tape and bamboo skewers.
