OK! OK! This is my First Posting. If I won the ARF, I would donate the kit to the next Michigan contest where the Captain is the CD! I usually just check out everything, that everyone else is doing. Right now I am installing the engine in the SUPER DUPER ZILCH. This really is a great site, that is only going to get better.
Thanks, to all those who donate their time and effort to advance our Hobby/Sport!

This appears to be the fourm I have been looking for. It really looks great and the map is great! Need more pins on it.

I taught a 4 year old to fly. Let's see someone beat that. If I won the ARF I will give it to the 4 year old. But if I come into the Argus all bets are off.

Hey Sparky,
I finally got to fly OTS last weekend at the Lee, Mass. meet that's run by Bill Hummel and Guerry Beyers. Had lots of fun even though we got rained on for Sunday. I wouldn't mind winning that OTS ship because I had a lot of fun flying that OTS pattern, someone lent me a plane to fly. It's a little weird, especially if you've never done it before. I did have an expert coach in the circle with me, Jim Damerell was gracious enough to coach me through both flights. I'm sure we made quite a hit in the circle together.
Yours in STUNT,
Bob "Champione"

Everyone has a week to post and to get your real first and last name in your profile before the drawing. Good Luck!!

George Waters · « **Reply #57 on:** September 12, 2006, 10:54:25 AM »

Ive never tried old time stunt, I have enough trouble with the regular pattern, but I will give it a try one day. I've seen these planes fly and they looked good. George

Bill Little · « **Reply #61 on:** September 15, 2006, 08:59:26 PM »

Congratulations, Greg!

As Sparky said, we had 7 draws before we found a winner! The first 7 (yes 7) were disqualified, mainly, for not following the directions in the "Terms of Agreement/Membership" and didn't have their full real name in the Profile.

The "Username" is your Profile name. It can only be seen by you and admin. It does not show in your posts, that is what you put under "Name".

We didn't write the software, and it *might* be a little confusing, but I (or Robert) can change your profile to make it legal and you will still have your "screen name".

Otherwise, you will not be eligible (like the first 7 tonight) to win any of the drawings. From what Sparky is doing, I think the drawings will only get bigger and better.

Hi Bill, I am pretty sure I meet the requirements to stay qualified. I hope so, I am thinking this ARF is pretty neet.

Greg

Hi Greg,

Yes, you are definitely qualified. Glad you won it!

Hey Greg,

Congratulations on your win!

Bill, Bob,

It's sad to see so many disqualifications.

I noticed that several people who replied to this thread have their full names only in their signatures, but not as their name, or username. Sure hope that didn't disqualify any of them from the drawings.

Bill Adair

RC Storick · « **Reply #66 on:** September 15, 2006, 10:48:21 PM »

That is fine. However Your user name can only be seen by admin. In you case your user name and display name are the same. But some people forgot to read the user agreement and put a display name as their user name. very confusing but it works out.

Lyle Spiegel · « **Reply #67 on:** September 16, 2006, 06:01:49 AM »

It was me who loaned Bob "Champione" my Nobler to fly at the Lee, Mass. meet. It was a thrill see someone else with skill better than mine make that Nobler dance. I'm glad to have given Bob the chance to have some fun and you can be assured both Bob and Jim Damerell made quite a hit in the circle together.

Hi Bill,

As Sparky said, the "signature" is fine to use for your full name. At least 5 of the first 7 my wife drew did not have their real or full name anywhere. Just an "alias".

The other 2 (IIRC) had not posted to the forum at all, much less in the last 30 days.

Hopefully, anyone interested in C/L stunt would get "qualified" as there are going to be some good stuff given away in the future.

BTW: The "MAP" qualification" is null and void. You do not need to be "on the map". Seems there are some "bugs to be ironed out in the program".

Bill <><

Hi Bill, Sparky,

Thanks for the replies.

I Know you guys are very busy running the best C/L forum on the internet.

My compliments on your efforts.

Congratulations Greg, What color ya gonna get? What engine are you going to use? Have fun practicing the OTS pattern.

Congratulations, Greg! I know you will really enjoy this ARF. Don't let the kids get their paws on this one.

Ironbomb · « **Reply #73 on:** September 17, 2006, 11:32:07 AM »

Thanks you guys, this so cool. I ordered the black one Leester. Should look great. No paws on this one, or no more pig ears!!!! lol

Bill Adair · « **Reply #74 on:** September 17, 2006, 12:04:27 PM »

Hey Greg,

You have good taste.

I just bought a Baby Clown ARF, and it is also black.

The truth is that I didn't pick the color, just grabbed the box, because it was on sale at my local hobby shop. After looking at the contents of the box, I've decided it's the color I would have picked anyway.

The only reservations I have is visibility. I'm not sure how the Clown will show up, when flying against a dark background?

Bill Little · « **Reply #75 on:** September 17, 2006, 12:13:33 PM »

Put some Chrome Trim Monocote on the canopy and rudder!

Bill Adair · « **Reply #76 on:** September 17, 2006, 12:41:37 PM »

"Put some Chrome Trim Monocote on the canopy and rudder!"

Bill,

Funny you should suggest that, because the canopy is in fact silver, and the rudder a nice bright shade of red.

Came in the box that way, so someone at Brodak was obviously using their head when the specifications were written. Where do you suppose they learned Chinese?

I worked part time in a friend's hobby shop for about a year, and this Brodak Baby Clown ARF is head and shoulders above anything I've seen! It just amazes me, that they can sell it for less money than it would cost me to build it from scratch!
