Okay, just a fun (hopefully) Challenge to fill the Winter months.
The idea here is to use your FT airplane, or a FT inspired scratch built, to perform an acrobatic display that you or a member of your crew videos. You can use recordings from more than one flight, and stitch them together if you wish. Add music! FPV, chase drone, ground video, gun camera footage. Show me what yah got. Do totally insane barnstormer stunts and add some Silent Film music. I'm just throwing ideas 💡 at the wall to get things going.
I had originally envisioned this for Mini sized Aircraft, but I don't want to leave anyone out. So... no size restrictions.
I'm already devising an over-complicated scoring system, that I plan todump give to my shaghaied volunteer judge. I haven't told my wife yet. I'll wait until after Hanukkah.
Aircraft: Any FT or Any design using FT materials, methods, and similar power systems, i.e. electric prop or EDF. Can be an existing aircraft or new build. Update: Fixed wing only.
Update: Prizes! Yes, there will be a Prize for 1st and 2nd place.
For anyone without a YouTube, you can send the video to me. I can post it either open, or hidden so that only the folks here will see it.
Contest Start: 22 Nov 2025
Contest End: 23 Jan 2026 @ 1630 hrs, MDT!
Late submissions will not be accepted. Unless it's a Jr entry. Or accompanied by lots of begging and groveling. Bribes involving chocolate shakes are especially effective.
