Congrats Ben

You must be the only guy to receive the MOTM award for the same model. August 2025 and August 2026.

Well deserved. forum image

Yep, he is the first to do that. I chose this model again because of the excellent performance he gave at the 2026 FAI F4 World Championships with the Fairchild and his excellent documentation of the build. Ben is one of many members who are a great example of what this site is all about. forum image

Cheers,

Mike

Thank you Mike! I was certain when you told me that you had forgotten that I won it last year, I couldn't believe that you'd chosen me twice. As I've said a bunch, without RCSB the F24 wouldn't exist.
