There's going to be a best "scale" award added to the list of awards this year at E-FEST. There's a lot more scale planes showing up at indoor events, so we've decided to recognize them for their craftsmanship. Can be foam or wood!!

I have been figuring my schedule, there is a good chance I will be able to attend. You had to talk about a "scale" award. Now I have another project to work on. Here is a start.
