Can it be a modification/bash of an existing kit? I converted a popular BG to RGB and could submit it fairly soon.

So, does my miniature AstroBlaster count? I made it the same scale as the Starlight Sparrow, since it flew so well. It has no R/C so I call it AstroGlider. And, with no plans, I had to guess on everything from pictures.

HHmmmm, I should enter the FlisKits Nanite....

It qualifies per rule #3:

3 - Designs must be original. Clones, up/down scales, scale models not
allowed. This is to be a creation of your mind, not someone else.

I just posted pics of the new glider I designed in another post. I will have to do a write up and submit it.

Well, after doing some research, I think it is about as original as anyone can get. Over the years, if you look, just about every shape, size, and type has already been done. So, all I can do, is let the judges decide...

Scott and I have discussed it and decided to postpone the end of the contest. Lack of entrants and and over abundance of prizes pretty much necessitates we hold off. We'll probably close it shortly after NARAM, but as soon as we have a solid date I'll post it here. For now, continue to submit your entries.

I'm glad the contest is continuing. I've just come up with an original idea (at least original to me!) for a RBG and I am going to give it a try.

That's great! The more, the merrier.
