I was a judge for the "Wright Stuff" competition in TN on Saturday. Unfortunately, I only had time to shoot a few photos of one plane.

Lighting was a challenge and they all required a pretty aggressive crop. C&C encouraged.

Nice set. I'd like to see a competition like that. What are the objectives?

Not enough prop blur! J/K

Very nice with the lighting conditions. My four year old daughter and I were scoping out rubberband planes last week at the hobby store. I need to stop taking her spotting at Detroit Metro!

The objective is simple, fly as long as possible. These were middle school students and the winning flight time was over 3 minutes! It is impressive to watch.

For scale, the prop diameter on this one was 20 cm.
