So far proof of flight video seen only in kiran rc's Spacewalker thread!

(He can consider consulting Roman or me on why his slow flyers fly sooo faaast

)

Well, I have started a build, so.....

K K Iyer · October 31, 2016, 08:26:31 PM

Oops,
Dipanjan already posted a flight video of his quad on 15th Oct.

The purpose of this thread is to ensure that we do not miss out anyone...

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...

K K Iyer · November 06, 2016, 06:56:39 PM

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

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

sanjayrai55 · December 23, 2016, 08:33:23 PM

I guess in this last week of 2016 we will see a flurry of entries!

sanjayrai55 · January 02, 2017, 06:32:51 PM

How do we verify?

K K Iyer · 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...
