Hi all members,
Good to see fresh responses...

Thought of one more category that deserves an award:
Best entry that didn't win lottery!
Provided someone would sponsor (say Rs 5k-10k?)
If someone sponsors, Anwar sir can set up a selection panel...

So looking for sponsors for
1. Solar powered without storage battery
2. Best entry that didn't win lottery

@aditya,
It is simple.
It is 2 categories:
1. Sweepstakes for all entries, with bonus entries for intricacy/complications
2. Performance competition for FF (though also eligible for sweepstakes)

Some additions for things not thought of earlier. Which will simply not arise if no one sponsors!
1. Solar. FF or RC. Needs encouraging, IMHO, provided someone sponsors!
2. Being a lottery, the best build (not performance, pl note) may not win.
But may, IMHO, deserve recognition, provided someone sponsors!

Am I missing something? If so please respond on thread or by PM. Thanks
Regards.

No responses, suggestions, sponsors in the last 48 hours.
One day left for new inputs, if any.
Then we can freeze the rules and start the 2016 Sweepstakes!

A quick recap.

1. All entries (ie, entrant/model combination) go into a list and get a serial number in the list of entries (LOE)
2. The sweepstakes winner will be (at) the serial number produced by the random number generator on random.org
3. Every entrant/model combo will get bonus entries in the LOE as follows:
a. No bonus entry for ARFs
b. 2 bonus entries for kit built
c. 4 bonus entries for scratch built
d. 1 addnl bonus entry for biplane, 2 for triplane
e. 1 addnl bonus entry for twin engine
f. 1 addnl bonus entry for canard
g. 1 addnl bonus entry for pusher
h. 1 addnl bonus entry for flapping wings!
(To illustrate, a scratch built twin canard A frame pusher will get total seven entries in the LOE!)

4. Performance competition entries will also be in the sweepstakes and eligible for bonus entries as above

5. Performance competition winner will be best duration over 1 minute for rubber power, 2 minutes for glider (50m towline/ 10m histart), 30 sec for HLG/DLG

6. Though the performance competition is Free Flight oriented, RC IS NOT EXCLUDED!

I'll try to post the list of entries for all to see, (and if needed, correct bonus entries etc) before we get Anwar sir to use random.org on it!

Will try to answer queries, if any, by tomorrow night...
Regards

So far almost exclusively oriented towards fixed wing aircraft.

Inputs from boat, car, heli guys welcome.

Even within aero, i can think of more categories for bonuses, like Rogallo, VTOL, EDF, solar assist, indoor etc.
Or in the case of boats, multiple masts...

But tomorrow we must freeze the list.

These bonuses/multipliers may look complicated, but actually are not. Just a way to encourage more courageous/adventurous builds.

Like say
A (1) scratch built (+4) solar assist (+1) twin (+1) EDF (+1) Wright Flyer canard (+1) bipe (+1)
I.e, 10 entries from just one model  Grin

I am not that experienced in multicopters that I can suggest a list, but there are several multirotor experienced people like Mr. Satya Gupta of Quadkopters, who can prepare such a list for multirotors too. Please do it sir(s).

@dipanjan,
I missed mentioning multirotors. Thanks for reminding!
Multi rotors are eligible for kit built and scratch built bonuses.
If there is anything else that deserves a bonus, pl let me know.

Likewise for cars and boats.

Yesterday i'd mentioned a bonus for boats with more than one mast.
Today i thought of a bonus for multi hull, eg, catamaran,
And one for a hydrofoil!

There would certainly be many such cases that i failed to think of (eg, DIY projects) and which no member reminded me off.

But we have to freeze this tonight.
(Later additions only if approved by Admin  Grin)
Regards.

@prabal276,
Last minute query, eh?
One entry is of course guaranteed.
Along with kit/scratch built bonuses.
Additionally,
I guess a monorail deserves 2 bonus entries.
A maglev deserves at least 4!

I think for exceptional models, we can leave the decision to Admin...
(While i wait for a sponsor for a deserving entry that didn't win the sweepstakes)

Well its 9pm on 30th Sep, so time to freeze the rules and start the RCI 2016 sweepstakes.

Start date 1st Oct 2016
Closing midnight 31st Dec 2016.

Most members would be aware of the background, like
1. Builds started on or after 1st Oct and completed on or before 31st Dec are eligible
2. Build logs have to be posted on the appropriate board, and supported by date proof like newspapers during build period
3. Video proof of model fulfilling its intended purpose to be included in build log
4. Confusion/disagreements, if any, will be decided upon by Admin, ie, Anwar sir

There is a sweepstakes, and there is a (performance) competition.
This is how it works:

1. All entries (ie, entrant/model combination) go into a list and get a serial number in the list of entries (LOE)
2. The sweepstakes winner will be (at) the serial number produced in the random number generator on random.org by Anwar sir
3. Every entrant/model combo will get bonus entries in the LOE as follows:
a. No bonus entry for ARFs
b. 2 bonus entries for kit built
c. 4 bonus entries for scratch built
d. 1 addnl bonus entry for biplane, 2 for triplane
e. 1 addnl bonus entry for twin engine
f. 1 addnl bonus entry for canard
g. 1 addnl bonus entry for pusher
h. 1 addnl bonus entry for flapping wings!
i. 1 addnl bonus entry for multi hull boat (like catamaran)
j. 1 addnl bonus entry for hydrofoil
k. 2 addnl bonus entries for monorail
l. 4 addnl bonus entries for maglev train

4. Performance competition entries will also be in the sweepstakes and eligible for bonus entries as above

5. Performance competition winner will be best duration over 1 minute for rubber power, 2 minutes for glider (50m towline/ 10m histart), 30 sec for HLG/DLG

6. Though the performance competition is Free Flight oriented, RC IS NOT EXCLUDED!

I'll try to post the list of entries for all to see, (and if needed, correct bonus entries etc) before we get Anwar sir to use random.org on it!

The prizes sponsored so far are:
For sweepstakes
1. 10k worth of goods by Anwar sir
2. 10k worth of goods from rchyper by kumaran sir
3. 5k worth of goods from quadkopter by satya sir
4. An airframe from sanjayrai sir (for best coro?)

And for FF competition (performance), 2k worth of goods from any LHS For
1. Best duration over 1 minute in rubber power
2. Best duration over 2 minutes in glider (50m towline, or 10m histart)
3. Best duration over 30 sec in HLG/DLG

Hope that covers everything.
Best of luck to all participants!

Would someone, perhaps one of the young aspirants for this year, like to search through old posts, and publish the names of the past winners?
(The search will be worth the effort, I assure you!)
