Even if mine was the only entry, I wouldn't expect all that stuff. I say hold any left over prizes until next year. But, I would like for there to be at least three entries for top 3 spots...

I'm glad it's continuing too. I hadn't noticed the contest until this past weekend. Might motivate me to finish my scratch glider project.

Now I feel bad for being the only one to read the rules and actually do something.

I think you rate a consolation prize. Your's was the only entry before the deadline and within the rules. Nice looking model too! However, with the deadline being extended I might actually have some competition for you... soon, two weeks for sure. Build thread here.

Your AstroGlider is a very nice looking model. Please don't burn it. You could probably even convert it to R/c using the AR6400 DSM2 6CH Ultra-Micro Receiver/ESC by Spektrum. However, I think the admins have spoken...

Well, I don't know who the admins are. And I don't see how the other entry is any more original than mine. The other entry looks like a modified Manta to me?!?

That was why I stated that after 50 years of design, just about every shape and type has been done in one form or another. But, if the judges say so, then so be it...

I am the site owner and Eagle3 (Buzz Nau) is my trusty assistant/admin/moderator. Buzz put this contest together, I just helped secure most of the prizes.

Buzz stated your entry violates rule #3 which clearly states up/down scales of existing designs are not allowed. We decided to extend the length of the contest due to the lack of entries. You're more than welcome to submit another design.
