All members, Since there are about 8 weeks left, don't be surprised to see eight more entries from this source. And note that they are potential prizes for next year's sweepstakes. Those who live in or around Delhi have a distinct advantage, as these cannot be shipped...

Come on guys! Only 9-10 participants so far? I fear that sponsors/potential sponsors will lose interest due to meagre participation.
Posting the Sweepstakes rules again for those who may not have seen earlier:
Start date 1st Oct 2016 Closing midnight 31st Dec 2016.
Most members would be aware of the background, like 1. Builds started on or after 1st Oct and completed on or before 31st Dec are eligible 2. Build logs have to be posted on the appropriate board, and supported by date proof like newspapers during build period 3. Video proof of model fulfilling its intended purpose to be included in build log 4. Confusion/disagreements, if any, will be decided upon by Admin, ie, Anwar sir
There is a sweepstakes, and there is a (performance) competition. This is how it works:
1. All entries (ie, entrant/model combination) go into a list and get a serial number in the list of entries (LOE) 2. The sweepstakes winner will be (at) the serial number produced in the random number generator on random.org by Anwar sir 3. Every entrant/model combo will get bonus entries in the LOE as follows: a. No bonus entry for ARFs b. 2 bonus entries for kit built c. 4 bonus entries for scratch built d. 1 addnl bonus entry for biplane, 2 for triplane e. 1 addnl bonus entry for twin engine f. 1 addnl bonus entry for canard g. 1 addnl bonus entry for pusher h. 1 addnl bonus entry for flapping wings! i. 1 addnl bonus entry for multi hull boat (like catamaran) j. 1 addnl bonus entry for hydrofoil k. 2 addnl bonus entries for monorail l. 4 addnl bonus entries for maglev train
4. Performance competition entries will also be in the sweepstakes and eligible for bonus entries as above
5. Performance competition winner will be best duration over 1 minute for rubber power, 2 minutes for glider (50m towline/ 10m histart), 30 sec for HLG/DLG
6. Though the performance competition is Free Flight oriented, RC IS NOT EXCLUDED!
I'll try to post the list of entries for all to see, (and if needed, correct bonus entries etc) before we get Anwar sir to use random.org on it!
The prizes sponsored so far are: For sweepstakes 1. 10k worth of goods by Anwar sir 2. 10k worth of goods from rchyper by kumaran sir 3. 5k worth of goods from quadkopter by satya sir 4. An airframe from sanjayrai sir (for best coro?)
And for FF competition (performance), 2k worth of goods from any LHS For 1. Best duration over 1 minute in rubber power 2. Best duration over 2 minutes in glider (50m towline, or 10m histart) 3. Best duration over 30 sec in HLG/DLG
Hope that covers everything. Best of luck to all participants!

Question:
"1. Builds started on or after 1st Oct and completed on or before 31st Dec are eligible 2. Build logs have to be posted on the appropriate board, and supported by date proof like newspapers during build period 3. Video proof of model fulfilling its intended purpose to be included in build log"
A build completed by 31st December, but flying video a week or two later - acceptable? Reason I ask is unpredictable weather (North Indian Fog Season started), and flying field being taken over for various seasonal functions
Title: UPDATE 30th Nov 2016
Post by: K K Iyer on November 30, 2016, 12:41:28 PM
UPDATE. 11 entrants, 19 builds so far. (Including builds not yet completed)
Since 1st Jan is a Sunday, flight videos on 1-1-17 will be accepted. Anyone needing another weekend will have to request Anwar sir, as I expect to send the entries to him by 2nd or 3rd Jan.
It's already 23rd, and I haven't even started building anything :banghead:

I guess in this last week of 2016 we will see a flurry of entries!
Title: UPDATE 23/12
Post by: K K Iyer on December 23, 2016, 08:41:20 PM
Start calculating the number of entries you should have in the sweepstakes list!
Title: Update 2.1.17
Post by: K K Iyer on January 02, 2017, 06:20:43 PM
Happy New Year everyone.
Entries as at 1.1.17 midnight closing date. 13 participants, 25 models for sweepstakes. Not much, but still {:)} Only one for performance :banghead:
1. If I've missed anyone, please intimate latest by 5th midnight
2. Please verify if your thread contains the prerequisites, ie a) pics showing build dates b) pics showing completed project. (I think one or two dropped out part way :( c) video of successful flight
If you need to fill in some blanks (as above), please do so by 5th midnight
Meanwhile, I'll start calculating the number of entries you should have in the sweepstakes list! I plan to send the list to Anwar sir on 6th, so that the results are out next week.

Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 02, 2017, 06:32:51 PM
How do we verify?

Post by: K K Iyer on January 02, 2017, 06:48:56 PM
@sanjayrai55, Sirji, aapka to kaam pucca hai. Those who have missing links will know by looking at their own threads. Some entries may get cut off. They shouldn't cry foul later...
Title: Re: 2016 Sweepstakes entries
Post by: sanjayrai55 on January 02, 2017, 06:59:42 PM
Well, thank you for that observation :D
Normally, the adjudicator (here that means you >:D ) puts up a list of valid and verified entries
Title: EXTENSION!
Post by: K K Iyer on January 02, 2017, 07:12:36 PM
That being said, the whole purpose is encouragement. Dont want to defeat that by overly strict rules.
So, the sweepstakes is closed to new entrants. Except for 3 days grace for existing entries to avoid disqualification on tech grounds.
But the performance competition is a bit different. The goal was 1. Best duration over 1 minute in rubber power 2. Best duration over 2 minutes in glider (50m towline, or 10m histart) 3. Best duration over 30 sec in HLG/DLG
Since there is only one entry so far, The performance competition closing date is extended to midnight 8th Jan
Members are encouraged to attempt performance targets even though too late for sweepstakes. Till 8th!
Come on guys. No member who can do 30+sec with a chuck? Or 2 min with a towline or histart?
If so, i guess 'the times, they are a-changing...

@anwar sir, Boss I've contacted you so many times that I'm embarrassed to try again. Over the years, RCI has become an institution that members believe in. People are really looking forward to the sweepstakes result... That Random can be easily run by me, or sanjayrai, or gusty or sundaram or saikat or flyingboxcar etc. But it wont have the same credibility. Members don't expect us to announce results. They expect YOU. Regards.

I'm sure nobody here would mind you giving the results, Iyer sir. Anwar sir must be busy with something. And, I vaguely remember his comment here saying that you should handle the sweepstakes.
Title: Re: 2016 Sweepstakes entries
Post by: K K Iyer on March 21, 2017, 09:42:11 PM
Can any of the moderators please give us an update from Anwar sir?
Sweepstakes needs to close one way or another. Don't know if the sponsors are still interested and committed!
If so I could draw lots on behalf of Anwar sir/RCI.
I was only to administer the sweepstakes (not select winners). On 9th Jan, one day after the deadline, I did post the list of entries (valid and invalid)
For me to do the lottery, need confirmation from sponsors and a green light from Anwar sir.
Actually, anyone can do a draw of lots from the 94 entries in my 9th Jan post...

Dear All I would like to close this matter from my end i.e. my sponsor amount of 10K worth of shopping at rchyper.com
Please find attached list showing user name against number. The username will appear number of times as per the sweepstake entry. For example user name "Anant champ" will appear 5 times in the list. I just used "Anant champ 5" to indicate that the name "Anant champ" will appear 5 times.
Participants are requested to go through and confirm that the list is in order before end of the day.
@K K Iyer Sir, I request you to generate a random number 1 to 94 and declare the winner by tomorrow morning around 9 AM. The winner will be given credit of 10K at rchyper.com It is upto the other sponsor to honor this winner.
Regards
Kumaran
