OK........Just like last year we have come up with a plane to raffle off to the general public. This time we wanted to pick a plane that was better for 3D and IMAC. Also something that would fly well on any motor you decide to put in it.

Many thanks go out to our sponsor www.BuyRC.com.

Here's how it works.

Paid pilots get 1 ticket for the plane.

Anyone can purchase tickets. They are $5 a ticket or 5 tickets for $20

Like last year I will send your ticket stubbs to you or send you a picture via email of them or just send you the numbers...(up to you).

We will draw the name of the winner on Sunday of the contest after the unknown round. This year I will accept paypal (but you must pay the 3% fee)

I will take a picture of the winning ticket and place it online. If the winning ticket holder is not present.......I will hold the plane until reasonble accomadations can be made for you to pick it up or you pay the shipping to get it to you.

EMAIL ME FOR TICKETS or PM

a10hog1@yahoo.com
