Unfortunately your submission doesn't qualify for the contest because even though Motion used to carry the FMS line it doesn't meet the requirement that James listed in the first post of this thread ……….

MUST be a CURRENT Motion RC product to qualify.

Sorry

This is my Freewing 70mm F16. It started life as the arctic camo version, and was given to me by a fellow club member who crashed it. Details and modifications include : Custom paint, weathering, and Callie graphics in the Alabama national guard "Dixie Vipers" livery. Airbrushed 3d printed turkey feathers with afterburner led. Painted landing gear struts. Jet hanger hobbies pilot bust, and printed instrument cluster and hand made ejection seat with parachute. Also various antenna, and 3d printed sidewinders . I studied lots of pictures of the actual aircraft, and did my best to capture the essence of the Dixie Vipers F16. This project was rewarding, and cant wait to get started on the next one..... the Freewing DH 112 silver Venom !

Dang...guess i overlooked that! :(

[Oxotnik]

Dang, I'm glad that I'm not part of the team that has to make the first down-select for the planes to go into the bracket. There're a bunch of crazy good planes being submitted.

It was a pleasant surprise to see so many talented artists come out of the wood work. I've seen many of your creations over the years in various threads, but seeing them all in one place really underscored the fact that there are more creators out there than is often visible on the surface. I hope those of you who joined Squawk just to post your entry decide to make this place another online home for yourselves. And I hope that the ~100 of you who we unfortunately cannot fit in the Top 64 this time will stay close for the next time we do this sort of thing... it definitely will be much sooner than next March!

Kudos to James for conceiving and orchestrating this entire contest! A couple weeks ago I wondered if we'd get enough entries to fill the Top 64. Oh, how I was happily mistaken

[James]

Hey guys. Was trying to stay up til midnight to officially end the entry period but can't keep my eyes open. From the time of this post you have about 45 minutes left. Any submittals past 12am est will not count. Tomorrow we will start making selections and seeding the finalists.

Then on Friday at 12pm est live on YouTube we will unveil the full bracket,and all the finalists and first round matchups and when that show ends at 1pm est. Part 2 begins where everyone can then fill out their brackets and determine just who has the best custom Motion RC aircraft.

Been truely overwhelming to see all these fantastic birds and look forward to finding new ways to show our appreciation for all the work so many do.

Good night, see you all Friday for sure!

Here's my refinished Freewing F-4 Phantom II. Filled in the panel lines, smoothed it out and painted it up as the QF-4B "Great Pumpkin' when it operated out at Pt Mugu. I love flying this jet!

Love your Great Pumpkin and the video you did on the flight review. This is now running on 8S, correct? For my poor eyes, this was one bird that I would not have an issue with on it's orientation while flying. Gee, all you needed in the video was a real nice looking afterburner. I now have one installed in every jet of mine, even the F-16 that already had a stock ring AB, so I know where you might pick up a real nice one, but I'm not into giving free advertising. On the other hand, if the maker of the AB would find it in his generous heart to give me a little something like a free AB next time, I might release the name. One can always hope.
