There are enough manufacturers out there, have you ever thought about doing 2 35% planes? Maybe do one JR/DA/Fromeco and do the other Fut/3W/Duralite? I'm not sure who all of the other sponsors are or if it would work. Then you could do a 300 midwing and a yak....

...not to mention that there would be two lucky winners instead of one really lucky winner.

just a thought

I got an Idea...

How about... get ready this is good...

RAFFEL A few - 35% planes, but......
Do it as an s an "AT COST" raffel.
Meaning that the sponsors outfit a plane (still in kit form, or arf form not assembled)
with everything that is needed to get flying. (except the transmitter or reciever)
The people that want to take the chance (and have the loot) buy or get a raffel ticket.
If you win you have to buy the package deal..
but the package is at DEAD cost.
Shoot I'd buy a ticket or two for that, AND more people can win, AND the sponsors really don't loose anything... and EVERY ONE IS FREAKING SUPER HAPPY!!!

Hugh Hugh?!?!?

Hello,

Good input, but the Raffle is set for one plane. Its too cost prohibitive to make double everything for the sponsors. It looks like its between the Extra and the YAK so far.

Thanks
John

I figured that it would be the case. Thats why I thought of splitting them up and probably not all companies out there are willing to donate product to every raffle that comes around.

Hello,

Tony and I are the few who do this type of Raffle. We try to make it a special item that is not only good for the winner, but it helps make a good contribution to the financial success of the contest. We are both very devoted to IMAC and Freestyle. So keep the votes comming.
