Just last week Stuka Dave announced that someone will be handling a postal model airplane contest for rubber powered free flight model planes that have a likeness to airplanes in the movie Planes. In a postal contest you can build and fly your model airplane anywhere and record flight times. It was asked for this contest that a Youtube video be created also. I plan to build a plane for the event, sure sounds like fun.
The Rules
The Utterly Unauthorized
“Little Wings
Around the Globe“ Planes
Movie Postal Cookup Contest!
24 hour comment period
for these proposed rules. Once the movie is released, the rules are
fixed (unlike the contest).
1. This cookup/contest is for characters from the animated
movie “Planes”. Any aircraft depicted in the movie is eligible, even
if it did not have a speaking role.
2. Models must be rubber-powered free flight, any material and
construction type. Full-fuselage, “Dick Baxter style” box, or
profile are all acceptable. Gear may be depicted as retracted,
since ROG is not required. Nominal wingspan is 16 inches,
but contestants may opt for larger or smaller models at their
discretion. DTs are allowed, but trickery, gadgetry, and perfidy are
not.
3. Models must be recognizable and representative of the
prototype. No scale judging, but excessively altered
airframe proportions are not allowed.
4. Your best two flights count as your score. Official
flights may be made indoors or outside. Unlimited attempts are
allowed.
5. At least one of the two “score” flights must be shown on video,
preferably uploaded to YouTube for the enjoyment of all.
6. To provide plausible deniability in case the lawyers come around,
Llewellyn Parchinski will serve as contest director from a secret undisclosed
location.
7. Contest will run 90 days from the movie release on August 9,
2013. Mr. Parchinski will provide suitable prizes, based on the
number and quality of entries. Official entry and inquiry contact is MyBigMoai@gmail.com.
8. Advance registration is requested but not
required. Pilot’s name, aircraft choice, and a picture or two of
construction and/or finished model should be sent to the above email
address. A forwarded YouTube link showing a flight will move pilots
from Entrant to Contestant status. All messages will be forwarded to
the secret contest headquarters location.
Editorial notes:
1. These are the
final rules. 24 hour comment period expired a long time ago.
2. Play games with
these rules at your own risk. Decisions by the CD are final.
