Win a Full Sponsorship on Team Kong Power in 2008!

Heres is how the contest works:

1. Simply create a video of your rc heli flying, illustrating your full potential and your best flying. Please include a small www.readyheli.com watermark in your video, and a brief explanation of why you would make a good team pilot for Kong Power. Make it funny, make it serious, but make it awesome! The ideal video candidate will be flying a lipo-powered machine, between the sizes of 450 - 90 sized. Special attention should be given to creativity, almost like you are filming a commercial selling yourself. Remember, in 2008 you will be representing the Kong Power brand and we would like someone who is committed to the hobby, and not just a bunch of free packs.

2. Upload your video on http://Youtube.com/group/readyheli

-login
-join group
-upload video

(Must be uploaded into this group for the contest, other videos not uploaded into this contest group will not be eligible. All videos must to start with zero votes and zero views, and time is of the essence, you only have 8 weeks, so get filming! New added videos which have existing or previous ratings or views will get deleted)

(Youtube.com was selected as a 3rd party since we cannot vote on our own videos on our channel to influence the outcome of the winner.)

3. Between now and December 25th, 2007 go out and promote your videos to get buzz about them, but most importantly, get your peers to vote on them. The contestant with the most votes (not views) on December 25th, 2007 will win a 2008 Full Sponsorship on Team Kong Power.

If you dont win the endorsement, dont worry...

2nd place winners will receive a 50% off pack purchase program on Kong Power batteries
3rd place winners will receive a 35% off pack purchase program on Kong Power batteries
All contestants will receive a free t-shirt courtesy of readyheli.com and tons of exposure, so this is a great way to get your name out there.
