Hobbyking Beer Lift 2015
It’s that time of the year again… it’s time to lift some beer! You’ve all seen this one before and it’s time to get your entries in. For those who haven’t experienced the HobbyKing Beer Lift it’s simple, the one who lifts the most beer wins. And by wins, we means there’s $2,500 worth of store credits up for grabs.
There are 3 classes: 250, 500 and for those boys who like big toys there’s the Unlimited Class.
And for those who had a go, but failed big time, there’s also $500 up for grabs in Disaster Class. That’s right, $500 in store credits just for owning the biggest failure.
If you don’t win we have loads of MultiStar batteries for the runner ups.
So check out the rules and post your entries here.
RULES
The classes are: (measurements made diagonally from centre of prop hub to prop hub)
250: 250mm and less
500: 251mm to 500mm
Unlimited: 501mm up
Disaster Class: Any sized multirotor that has seen better days
All video submissions must include the following in one take with no editing:
- – weighing of the beer
- – measuring of the multirotor
- – confirmation of battery used
The video must clearly show the weight of the beer cans/bottles prior to flight along with the diameter of the multirotor shown in centimetres. Any video that appears to be edited after the weigh-in will not be accepted. The judge’s decision is final.
The multirotor must be built in 2014-2015 and cannot be a previous entrant in HobbyKing’s 2014 or prior Beer Lifts.
To qualify you must be using MultiStar, Nano-Tech, Nano-Tech A-Spec, Zippy or Turnigy Li-Poly batteries.
The multirotor must be able to lift the payload for at least 10 seconds.
Videos must be uploaded to YouTube and linked to us through our official entry form.
If beer cannot be used, entries using other drinkable liquids will be accepted.
Disaster Class winner is determined on many factors… but mainly what the judges find funniest (bring the lolz).
The maximum store credit prize for Unlimited Class is $1000, 500 Class is $500 and 250 Class is $500. All entries must be submitted before midnight on the 1st October 2015. No entries will be accepted after this time, so get yours in early.
To encourage entrants to get their entries in early the value of each prize will reduce by $50 every week after the 1st September. For example if you get your Unlimited Class entry in on the 31st August and you are the winner, you will receive $1,000. If you are the winner and your entry was submitted on the 7th September you will win $950. From this point the prize will drop $50 every week, so get you entry in early.
