Hi every one! I have entered into the Sidewinder Build Off Contest with a build that is a bit of a departure for me. I have built a couple of combat planes before but this one is special, it is a build that garners your help as forum members.
I have been here in the forums for well over half a year and the help and support I have received from all of you has been keeping me progressing in this great hobby instead of stagnating with a bunch of planes in the attic and one frustrated pilot. I am very fortunate and appreciative for having corresponded with all of you to progress myself and hopefully I have done the same to pay it forward.
That being said I am once again asking for your help. The contest that I have entered is a build off based on votes. I am a bit of a late entry, not that the competition has a lot of entries but the few that have entered are tough competition. What I have done is taken the Sidewinder from a usual combat plane and put my spin on it that is a useful fun flyer for me being from a snow bound country. Take a look...

. Now I haven't found a way to change it so this is why I am posting this thread. I was looking to get votes purely on the pic I meant to post but due to the nature of the problem I have to go with it. So I am asking all of you to go to this
website and toss in a vote for me.
I am not asking to just vote for me with nothing back to you though, I would like to pay you back in the same way. If you vote for me, post a link to your YouTube channel on this thread and I will subscribe to you there. A scratch my back and I scratch yours kinda deal. The contest First or second place prize is really gonna be a next level for me to attain in this hobby and your help will get me there. Your participation in this is really appreciated and thank you. Happy flying everyone
