Im will make a final decision at the end of the month. I also wanted to announce that Futaba will be stepping up to make the airplane complete with a Radio (TBA) recievers, servos etc. I would like to thank Frank Knoll and Amanda for helping with this. The plan is to fly the plane right after the winner is announced and let the winner get to fly it that day. We will have a total list of sponsors by the end of the month. Please support them all and the event.

John,

Thats a hell of a prize and I have to say extremely generous by any standards.

I hope I can make Tucson and have my number in the barrell for a chance to win it. The hobby just would not be what it is today without the support and generosity of the major players the likes of yourselves, Futaba etc.

From the modelling comunity at large mate I am sure a big thanks is in order.

Great stuff.

Hey John,
Let me know when you get that plane in the bones. I'll come over and take some measurements and get a cover built to go with it.
Any idea on the scheme yet?
