    What's this new "Thanksgiving" banner?




    If you hover over it you'll see that the file name is "secret.jpg", could this be my long awaited B-24???

    You guys are fast, we just put that banner up! I will say this: There is something new coming, very soon, and the clues to what it is are hidden in the banner. It's not easy to decipher, but then again, if it were easy, where would be the fun in a teaser banner?

    For fun, everyone who wants to play should post here with their top three guesses of what it is, and what clues in the banner tipped them off. Anyone whose post includes the correct answer before Lelu is announced officially will get their name put in a hat for a small prize.

    But post thine guesses quickly, for Lelu cometh soon...

        It's the new FlightLine (the FL mirrored in the symbol on the edges) earth shattering SR-71

          So two of Westsider's guesses are SR-71 and RC Taxicab with Lelu in the backseat. :D You get one more guess...

                    If it's FlightLineRC, it has to have a propeller(s) right?

                        Interesting guess, FieldofDreamsFlyer. Why would you guess that, based on the banner? Brandon Moon, same question.

                              Looks to me like an aerial recon night photo of a city possible over Europe by a Black Widow duckin out of the exposure of the air raid spot lights.
                              That's my guess and I'm stickin with it.

                                There's a PBY Catalina sunk at Lelu island.... could it be that?

                                  With the satellite photo theme I'm thinking it's a modern plane..maybe a B-1B?

                                    That's a sexy photo of the B-1B! I love that aircraft. Although sadly I must disclose that Lelu is not a B-1B. Maybe next time, though. Keep the guesses coming! And don't forget to state what clues are leading you to guess your guess.

                                      To state my reasons, "Lelu" could be Lelu harbor where there's a sunk PBY Catalina. When the US and Alies went on the offensive, "Black Cat" squadrons of PBYs would be used for night operations against the Japanese, so that could be the reason for the night imagery of an island. The only thing throwing me off is the symbols (different between the Large announcement and the small banner) Not sure yet what those are?

                                        Think maybe more the pattern in the banner will give way to what it is then the ground. Also if you go to motionrc.com they've added the banner there but the map isn't the same (though it may be the same area)
