Everyone has DIY fever!

Are you a Second Life aviation buff? Are you a hot-shot aircraft designer? Or maybe you’ve never built a plane, but have a keen design sense? Now’s your chance to show your stuff.

Abbott's Aerodrome presents the 2005 Airplane Design Competition

The competition is simple: out of parts in the Terra DIY Plane Kit, design an original airplane and submit it by noon on Saturday December 17. If the judges like your creation, you could win one of three fabulous prize packages.

Prizes

Winners will be announced at 5:00pm SL time on Saturday, December 17.

1ST PRIZE
6 Cubey Terra vehicles of your choice, L$3000, and a trophy.

2ND PRIZE
3 Cubey Terra vehicles of your choice, L$1500, and a trophy.

3RD PRIZE
1 Cubey Terra vehicle of your choice, L$500, and a trophy.

How to submit your entry

When you complete your airplane design you can submit it BEFORE NOON ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 17.

  1. Go to the south side of Abbotts Aerodrome and find an unused exhibitor’s pad (it’s a disc).
  2. Click the pad to reserve it. You can reserve ONLY 1 PAD.
  3. Leave your plane on the pad.

Due to prim limitations in Abbotts, we may run out of prims. Get there early to reserve your spot.

Da rulez

  • MOST IMPORTANT RULE: The plane must use only the parts included in the Terra DIY Kit, which is available at Cubey Terra’s shop in the northwest corner of Abbotts. You can duplicate and mod the prims if you want (e.g., the kit includes 2 wings, but your plane can have more).

    You can get a DIY kit for L$1 here: Abbotts (37,236)

  • No custom textures. Use only the textures that are on the DIY kit prims, or textures that are available in the Library folder in our Inventories.
  • Maximum 30 prims.
  • The plane doesn’t necessarily have to fly. This is a design contest, not a scripting contest.
  • 1 entry per person, no exceptions, no alt accounts.

Good luck! We’re all looking forward to seeing your designs!
