Thanks for the wonderful replies everyone I do appreciate them. I donā€™t want to come off sounding ungracious but I am going to decline the win. Imo the fairest thing to do is let the runner up have the stick since I did not accept the item but I will leave the final decision up to @Troll and the @staff since they put on the contest. Cheers everyone and I hope whomever does end up with the stick gets years of enjoyment using it. :sunglasses:

Oh, never mind, itā€™s @miRage well, congrats mate!

@wheelsup_cavu, whatā€™s your reason to decline, if I may be so bold?

@komemiute not being in the pilot seat as often as I like, I think a trainer is what I need right now. Practice basic flying and maneuvering in VR with not that many buttons to push. Maybe a little IFR.

So the Yak-52 is a good plane for me right now. Itā€™s slow and not complex. I crashed into a street sign yesterday and found itā€˜s pretty sturdy, too. It was a ā€¦ expedited and unsolicited wheels-up emergency landing. :smiley:

So if you really get around to creating a personal Poneybirds livery, I would fly it with pride in the russian T6.

Your artists mind can roam freely on this. Open minded wins my heart. No rush! If you need any primers: Lucky number is 21 and I like colors that look faster than they are. My cars color is ā€žPull-me-over Redā€œ. Even though the car computer says my average is 46 km/h. :red_car:

:salute:

BEAUTIFUL IDEA!
Since I already skinned a few Yaks, it should take relatively little time!
ANd good idea to give me pointers like colours and numbers !:wink:
I promise Iā€™ll do what I can, despite being fully booked. Hopefully before the week end.

@staff, I wish that we could visualize our Callsign beside the username instead of the badgeā€¦ Or beside it.

Thanks. Iā€™m really surprised by the decision of wheels but happy to get a follow up / alternative for my ancient G940. It will be great for warbirds and early jets I guess. I might need to look for a Mongoose CM2 stick which should fit the base.

A brilliant post. Nominated for post of the year.

Thanks Bearhedge, but hardly. I thought @Trollā€™s swift kick to my gonads when requesting a prize for the lowest roll was much better played. Anyway, when @komemiute claimed that he had been skinning Yaks, I had this vision of him on some Mongolian plain or in the Himalayas with a long curved blade held high in victory over the horned beast.
