RAFFLE #1: Custom Built F4U Corsair Pedal Plane – Win this US Navy and US Marines favorite, the F4U Corsair. A truly one-of-a-kind prize, it was built by chapter members with special attention to every detail.  Like the full-size Corsair, the wings fold to save space on the deck.  The prop turns as the plane moves forward, driven by the pedals!  So fun! Depends on weight but typically, the pilot can be up to age 7.

Grand Prize:  Homebuilt Pedal Plane  (Value:  Priceless!)

A truly one-of-a-kind prize, designed and built by chapter member Mike Paxson. This is positively a work of art, as you can see in the photos below.

2nd Prize:  Flying Pup Whirlygig ($70 value)

Show the neighbors your interest in aviation and adventurous pups!
