<h3>Grand Prize:  Homebuilt Pedal Plane  (Value:  Priceless!)</h3>
<a href="https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/1-IMG-5571.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-6521" src="https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/1-IMG-5571-1024x952.jpg" alt="" width="93" height="86" /></a>A truly one-of-a-kind prize, designed and built by chapter member Mike Paxson. A custom Pedal Plane to be raffled at LOEFI 2023! This one is a P-51 Mustang.

This is positively a work of art, as you can see in the photos below. Note that the “drive shaft” for the pedals is connected to rotate the propeller - so fun!  The prop turns as the plane moves forward!  Color scheme, panel layout, and N number mimics that of our chapter build RV-12 which recently took flight.  Depends on weight but typically, the pilot can be up to age 7.

<h3>2nd Prize:  Southwest Airline Tickets</h3>
