Default FG 2009 Joe Nall Flying Japaleno Contest!

In honor of our friend that lives in the land of ice, I'd like to announce the official Flyinggiants.com Wesse Flying Japaleno contest at the 2009 Joe Nall!

FG would like to see what you guys can create when it comes to a flying Japaleno!!

It's all up to you just how crazy you would like to go with this!
Make a foamie Japaleno, or make a 118" composite Japaleno that is powered by a turbine!
Just make sure it flies!

I know there are many of you that are master builders, and are very creative, so show us what you have!

At some point on Friday at the Nall, will gather all the flying Japaleno's together on the 3D flight line (Or main flight line if they allow us) , and we will then fly the Japaleno's! Crowd response will choose the winner so GO BIG or GO HOME!

So, who's going to bring the HEAT?!?!


I'm still working on the prize, but rest assured it will be HOT!
(Seriously, it will be something really nice)


Official rules:

1) Must be home made.. no mass produced Japaleno's

2) Must actually fly (30 seconds minimum, longer the better)

3) Must meet any/all AMA regulations

4) The crowd will pick the winner!


PS: We know Japaleno is actually spelled "Jalapeño" if you don't know the reason for the spelling change please view the "Hard man video" here ----------> HARDMAN

The last I heard was, No. He is not going to make it. If FG can run a fund raiser for his ticket and hotel then he could probabbly come. I recomend that Sleepy run a fund raiser to bring Wesse here to the Nall. I will donate $100.00 to the cause! Anyone else? I would think we would need about $2k....... Anyone?

Hmmm... we could set up a paypal account.
And if for some reason the amount of money needed is not raised...
we could use the money (every cent) to throw one hell of a party at the nall.
So either way... everyone wins.

What do you think? It would be nice for Wesse to judge the Japaleno contest along with the crowd!

OK.. The WESSE Joe Nall fund is set up at stephencinch@gmail.com
That paypal account will be used for nothing else.
4 weeks before Nall I will try and purchase a plane ticket for MR. WESSE.
So get depositing!! If for some reason at that time we do not have enough loot, I'll make an announcement out here,and see if a last minute savior will come through, if not... the money will then be funneled into a party.

So HOOK IT UP! Get the HARD MAN to the JOE NALL so he doesn't have to attend the "NO NALL" with his buddys.
