Re: Contest - Contest - Contest Version 2.0 Big Brother
Hi sir, Don’t feel too bad about the photo mishap…. I guessed this contest may be coming up and already had a number….. About 10 oz off lol…
Regardless, These have been fun and entertaining….. Thanks…
I think BB will lift off… At least a little at about 13 oz per G-Bee….How long is the tether and what height for the pylon?
I think the hollow log weighs 7.00 oz

My gestimate would be 9.75 ounces as is, and yes I think it will fly but need a little weight in the tail.

Re: Contest - Contest - Contest Version 2.0 Big Brother
My guess is 9.8 ounces and I reckon BB will definitely lift off. My third favorite plane of all time managed to lift off being the Spruce Goose. Lol. First comes the SR 71, then the DR-1, then the spruce goose, then BB!

7.55 oz
You effectively put a .15 on the nose of BB so yeah I think it will get off the ground.

Am I too late?
7.22 oz. I've got no idea, but I'm pretty sure it won't fly.

Re: Contest - Contest - Contest Version 2.0 Big Brother
We have a winner and his alias matches the prizes. Much closer guesses this time with some coming very close. A few under, most over.

Congratulations 1/2A nut - Brad in Texas.
I'm surprised that some of the old hands here did not chose to participate. Perhaps to give others a better chance, perhaps because they already have a Graffiti Bee. But Bernie's Bees do not exactly grow on trees and you can always run one and save one. What I was going to do. In fact, I looked at this one and thought - run it or give it away. Give it away got the nod.
PM me your address Brad and the engines and a year's subscription to Air Classics will be on their way.

Congrats Brad.
If I may ask, what was the final weight of said plane? For some reason my phone is acting up and cannot see the pictures? Also having issues on another forum. Ain't technology great!

Little F-100 Musciano hollow log was 5.98 oz.. Brad's guess was 6.80 oz.. Lieven and Rene were close.
