Default CONTEST...NALL VIP Only!!! Whos Got Skilz!!

"HOLY FLYING JAPALENO PEPPERS BATMAN"
CONTEST

Ok Boys and Girls, Heres the deal.... There is word on the street there is a healthy prize to be won at the one and only" Whos who "JOE NALL2009!!!!!!

Now is the time to show off your building/ Designing skilz and partake in what will be a killer time with Friends and Family.

In Honor of our good Friend WESSE we need as many of our supporting members who are attending or know someone close to home who is taking the trip, to put aside all other projects and build some unique JAPALENO "AKA Jalapeno" shaped aircraft.

My good Friend, Mr SleepyC Gave me a call the other day and asked if I could put my foamy skilz to the test and "with his help" design a Japaleno pepper plane so he can show all you guys up at NALL this year... Of course I laughed and said "are you kidding me".
Well in spite of my optimism I thought this could be fun and I want Sleepy to have a fighting chance with all you creative birds out there.
Not that Sleepy isnt creative enough, and we all know that he does more than just sit at his computer and add to his millions of post on FG
I have been spending sleepless nights and endless hours designing what you are about to see one of the most unusual planes presented on FG "the 40% website forum"
Oh yea, Sleepy did call me the other day for his 2 cents to let me know what color he wanted it

So Please step up to the plate and make what is going to be a super good time, even more fun, with hopefully dozens of unique flying Japalenos consuming the air at NALL.

Remember this is a Contest and the prize will be worth the effort to show off your building skilz and with your support we will have a Super Great guy WESSE pick the winner!!!
Good Luck to All Participants and have a great time at NALL !!!

Man that's going to be hard to beat. I have the wood and engine for mine but have yet to start the build. I'm looking at a .60 size glow. This should be fun.
