Shall I organize another RMR Descon?

Yes please!

How about "best comedy sci-fi ship". Winner must build from scratch and demonstrate one successful, stable flight, documented by photos and/or video. Some candidates:

Red Dwarf's "Star Bug"

Futurama "Planet Express"

"Vogon Destructor" or "Heart of Gold" from HHGTTG.

...others?

How about a powered by micromaxx only event. no other limits.

I would go for that idea too (but I still like mine better!)

My Favorite Martian's saucer?

A Winnebago?

An Eggbeater?

Just about any playground toy?

Something from an "adult" store?

Good one.

Huh?

HRUH?

Double HRUH?

WTF?

OOH! OOH! I just thought of an obvious one, the Wallace & Gromit Moon Rocket!

I swear I've seen one, I can't remember where though.

Yes, but I'd vote against something limited to entirely MicroMax (perhaps MMX as a separate category within contest). -- Richard "wondered when there'd be another DESCON" Hickok

You got me on that one, someone else will have to chime in.

O.k. but how about a "peanut"-only contest? i.e. something like PSS but open to any design. This would make it fair for the people who couldn't find MMX's in their area.

Ah, o.k. But that still leaves me confused about the Winnebago, eggbeater, and playground toys........

Ah, thanks!

Maybe an old SNL skit? The one where the all-male and all-female ships collide? God it's been so long I can't remember what the ships looked like....

Kitchen wars!

full scale?

heh, another monthly missile?

How about a plastic model conversion?

it would have to be a vialbe flight. I figure 10ft from pad height would be enough to say it actually flew ? what do you think ?

Yawn . . . .

I'm thinking the Eggbeater's from a 1981-ish student spoof of StarWars titled "Hardware Wars". All of the ships were appliances. For example the opening scene with the huge, wedge shaped Empire cruiser entering the shot was done with a flat iron.

The following clip shows the iron firing on the egg beater.
