Special detectives appointed

I wonder who is this ?

you have laid out a whole plan as to how to hoodwink, people who didnt have an idea as to how, know now

There you go, ask a question in English and it is replied in Greek. All I wanted to know is SKILL and COMPLEXITY going to be taken into account or is it ONLY a matter of LUCK?

VC Sir,
I have not answered, but replied as my opinion which I read and learned from the post and again posted some problems.
The answer is only to Admin(user1), i. e. anwar(user2).

Happy Building

Roman, I think you are over-reacting. All you have to do (as Mr. Anwar has stated very clearly and lucidly) is to take a picture with date proof at the time of starting, clearly showing all the parts. Then, just a few dated pictures during assembly.

Basically this is to avoid anyone who wants to "tweak the rules" a bit, and show something already built, which would be absolutely against the spirit of the contest.

These rules were made adequately transparent right at the beginning, and we should all respect them.

Whereas I have no doubt that you are certainly on the level, due process must be followed, or the Admin, who already has an unenviable job going through all the entries in detail, will certainly be unable to make any sort of impartial ruling.

Why don't you put together another model: there is still plenty of time?

Good luck 

Sanjay

Yes, it will be accepted, IF you show the build of the wooden structure from the beginning with proof.

What I want to know is that is this award based only on Luck or do Skill and Effort have a part to play? Please don't be diplomatic in your answer - if you answer at all Mr. Administrator.

I think the rules are clear in the very first thread itself, and any further clarification in my replies to couple of people who asked questions initially here.

This contest started off with no prominence for skill, otherwise what is the justification in allowing ARFs ?  My thought was that there are people have bought ARFs/kits/depron etc and have all the pieces laying around, but just did not get motivated enough to get start on building those. Let this sweepstakes kick them in to action !

I tried to give skill/effort an advantage by the 3x entries boost.

Look at it this way, if you can scratch/plan build 4 different aircrafts (which is certainly possible because "plan builds" are included), then you have 12x advantage over someone who is just building one ARF. Isn't that enough encouragement for the effort ?

sanjay ,no bro im out of this, i think i lacked on work in progress pictures , but yes the plane was built form scratch on the same day the pics were taken waiting for the motor

I will accept the one where the servo on the elevator is not connected.

But we certainly want to highlight the need for "demonstrating progress" to everyone.  And showing the initial stage (the pieces "unconnected") does play an important part. 

Anwar bhai has a kind heart

Yep, right below "Idi Amin" in the list of kind-hearted souls

Hello all., 

for participation is it only for airplane. can i submit boat also..!!!

So you have to build or assemble a new RC plane/heli/car/boat/multirotor/etc between today and March 8th, to be eligible. 

So, go ahead.....JUST DO IT  
Also, do adhere to the 'guidelines' listed...

Sure, if you can demonstrate a sufficiently damaged initial state, with proof.

Hmmm. I am a bit torn on this.  Too long a window would take the focus out of the event, I feel.  But if it benefits a large number of people, I am open to extending till April 9th.

Here is my official entry for the Sweepstakes
