Reed Speed--Best Model Poll

I can't believe the detail level of some of these planes! I think everybody is a winner at this point, these are all very cool looking planes.

Phil

Great looking models guys!
Thank you for your participation and the work that went into the models.
Let's all thank Jacob for putting the poll together.

Now go fly your models and send me some videos!

Jim

Great group of planes. I couldn't even be loyal to mine, I had to vote for anohter, just because it looked like the best "speed plane". Nice job guys!

If you are a forum member please vote!

There are 16 entries for this competition.

The involvement leading to these photographs is much,much more than, say, my taking a picture of one of many engines after "posing" it.

They are all outstanding from many different points of view and I, in usual fashion, have found it difficult to make my selection.

Because there are so many entries compared to "voters" or forum members who do vote - I have a feeling that a few individuals may receive a no vote.

I do hope that this is not the case as I think everyone is to be congratulated on their achievement in making a plane from scratch to be ready for the competition.

You should all be proud of the models you have produced - from the hastily put together the the finely detailed creations.

The topics from this competition have made for very interesting reading.

Thank you all.

#7 for me. I like the creativity shown.

Wow they really look nice !! I am sure glad mine is built for speed and not LOOKS  Getback   

Hey, you should see mine now, it's wearing some sporty trim. I'll include a snapshot at the beginning of my official video.
Rusty

I finally voted. Ugh, that was tough.
Not a dud in the lot.
Every plane is a beauty, and their builders
should be proud.
Hats off to you guys.

Let's all give Roddie a belated and much deserved congratulations on winning the best model poll. Job very well done! You really raised the bar for everyone next time.

Jim

Congrats Roddie, Nice paint job and the decals added super detailing.

Hats off Roddie.
Stunning eye candy!
One of the most realisitic looking
profiles I've ever seen.
Bob

Yes Roddie, great job on that one. As soon as you posted it I knew I was out!

Congrats man!

Here she is.

Yeah, I mentioned it in the official video thread, that's one of the coolest 1/2A scale Racing planes ever. Also numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 12, and 13 are all examples of beautiful craftsmanship and imagination. Scratch that, it's not fair to the rest.. except for mine with no freakin' paint. Nice work by everyone.
Rusty

Meanwhile back at the ranch: Okay, I'm preparing to duck rotten tomatoes, eggs and paintballs now.  

Great job Roddie

It is a beautiful plane. One of the best I have ever seen.

Now I also want to join in the fun. I will have to start planning for the next one. I hope there will be a next one.

My friends! A heartfelt THANK YOU!! I had a VERY busy weekend with the band, and hadn't had much time for the forum. What a nice way to wake up this morning!

I mentioned to Eric (Getback) yesterday on the discussion thread, that I'd saved all the photos of ALL contestants builds that they'd posted.. and put them in separate subfolders on my PC. Eric and I (I think..) had the only two models with a full-span hinged elevator.. and was wondering if his control-throws might have been too sensitive. Eric's model was a SCREAMER   and if he'd gotten a full-flight in.. it would've been a force to be reckoned with!

This contest has been a LOT of fun, and there's been some mention of doing it again later on this year. I would suggest sometime on/around Labor Day or mid-September. As a matter of fact, it would be a blast to add another element... A balloon-bust! After the 10th lap; try to pop as many of 4 equally-spaced balloons as possible, before running out of fuel!

Wow. These planes are all awesome. Very impressive! Andy

Whoa!! Thanks , Roddie I think you most defiantly had the most beautifies  model very well shown off as it should be ......We all put a lot of work into this project and am looking forward to the next   I am going to change the throw of the elevator and give it 1 more chance caught ur drift Phil, Thanks All!!  Getback
