2006-2007 Design and Build Contest FAQ
Questions and Answer about the 2006-2007 Design
and Build Contest. |

In the rules you state, "wood model." Do you mean all
wood or can I use covering on wings and the like?
Yes, plastic covering is fine. By "wood" I mean primarily wood
structure. The intent is for entrants to build wood model structures.

After reading the rules I must ask a question. Your
description says that it must be primarily of wood construction. My aircraft
will have foam core wings, stabs, and vertical fin. These will be hand cut with
a hot wire bow, then sheeted with balsa. I may also use this technique on the
rear turtle deck that spans from the rear of the canopy to the tail. Please let
me know if this will still allow me to be eligible.
Your model wouldn't be eligible. The contest is for wood model
aircraft. A small amount of "other" material is acceptable but as the rules
state, the model having less "other" will fare better.

My entry is an online build on <insert
world famous model airplane forum here>. You can download photos and my
write-up from there.
No I can't. Entries must be
e-mailed to me. That includes everything that must be submitted as
indicated in the contest rules as well as anything additional you would like to
submit. The deadline for submissions is June 31, 2007.
Please understand that I do not have the
time to surf various blogs and forums and piece together multiple posts to
create contest entries.

design." How do you define "quality?"
Ultimately, the answer is How do you
define quality?

I don't have a chance of
winning. Why should I even try?
Because (in theory) simply making the
effort will improve your skill. Besides, everyone else may quit and you
could win by default.

mandatory. If you do not give me permission to post the plan on the site
then it won't be posted.
