Motor: sp400 brushed motor with gearbox or similar brushless. Since this is a "trainer style" aircraft, motor cost is limited to $25 and should not produce no more than 150 watts

I think the first entry has scared away the rest of the contestants.
Both first and second place prizes are pretty sweet. Definitely worth a little time in submitting an entry.

It kept telling me to fill out the Subject and message fields complete.
I did not see a Subject field to fill out.
I filled out the Title and Message fields but no luck.

thanks
thanks
The sp400 motor has a 2.3mm shaft. Just measure your 480 and see if it is the same. I can't find a shaft size on the 'net.

Mines all built up, well i guess this will be my entry but yeah, got the 480 on it right now(tis' why i cant enter it in yet) its big though about 55in wingspan. But the tail feathers need work, broke 2 props already because of trying to trim it out, im thinking of putting the 2409-12 back on it again, that way it'll keep the battery heat down, and not much torque action and i can enter it in on this contest, it dont look bad but it'd look cooler with landing gear. Ill work on it tomorrow and post a vid and pics.

I dont know if that will be my entry its not a very smooth flyer, i wanted my plane to be a pusher so that it could save props but i didnt have any sticks for booms available. I was also thinking of encorporating ailerons, now i know ailerons sometimes arent best for beginners but i imagine if i gave it like the lowest rates(which how do you change that anyways?) even at full turn it would not roll upside down. Ahhh i know ill build a wing dragon kinda bird. Im having problems with my high wingers anyways for some reason maybe im too good for a trainer 
I better get busy

Next contest we need to do something like a plane that is aerobatic, can perform so and so tricks ya know what not. Next one would be a plane for carrying load like payload or an AV plane or plane with the most functions something like that
