 Gee Robert!
 I really appreciate the honor of winning the Chipmunk.
 Would you be kind enough to pick a number between Xand Y and have beginner and intermediate members
 or youngsters of a certain age email you with their guess. 1 week time limit .
 The one coming the closest winning the Chipmunk.
 I feel they would be more deserving than myself.
 Thanks so much for what you do,and congrats on your placing at the nats   H^^ H^^

Well the contest is over as Grace hit the number on the head. My birtday is the 27th and this would have ended on the 27th so the number was 27. Can't get any closer than that. Send me the address in PM.

Charlie and Sparky,

Thank you for the Chipmunk!  My dad and I will have a parallel build (though it will be like he was building the same place twice, but I will do my best)
 Funny story...I just got my wisdom teeth yanked out, I was high on pills I do not remember taking and my dad yells out of no where to guess a number one through 100 ??? so out of my mouth flew 27.  And I won...just for those who are low on luck do what I did. ;D  Well just in case you guys didn't know I am in intermediate and I flew at Signal Seekers.  I won and it was only my fifth full pattern flight.  If you want to hear about it ask my dad about my outside squares... b1

Again I thank you.
Grace Paris

Grace,

Congratulations on your stunt win, and the Chipmunk kit.

Now, do you believe in the tooth fairy?  ;D

Charlie Pate, if I ever have the pleasure of meeting you in person, please allow me to pay for the drinks, or food!  H^^

Sparky and Charlie,
The kit arrived today in great condition.  We went out flying so I did not shoot a picture of her with the kit.  Should be something I can put up tomorrow. 
Thanks,
John (Grace's dad)

For those who've never had the pleasure of meeting the Paris family, let me assure you that they are one class act!  It's so wonderful to see parents who actually do the kind of job raising their family the right way.
Congrats to them.
