REWARD $500.00

Help Us Name The Pitts Model 14

Steen Aero Lab is offering $500.00 to the creative person(s) who come up with “the perfect” name for the new Pitts Model 14. (Previous Pitts designs have carried monikers like “Lil’ Monster”, “Super Stinker”, etc.) While we don’t guarantee that we will pick the final name from those submitted, we hope that we can award the money to someone out there… and they’ll get to tell everyone that they named the new Pitts!

Contest Rules:
The Pitts Model 14

  1. The prize reward will be issued to whoever comes up with the winning name, even if we have already thought of it.
  2. If more than one contestant suggests the same name, the reward will be evenly divided between those contestants.
  3. The chosen name should not already be in use for another aircraft type or a well-known specific aircraft (ie, “Legend”, “Bulldog”, etc.)
  4. We reserve the right to choose any name that we feel best fits the airplane, from any source, whether or not it was submitted as part of this contest. However, if the final name selected comes from (or exactly matches) any entry submitted as part of this contest, the $500 prize will be awarded to the submitter(s). There is no guarantee that the prize will be awarded, unless the final name choice was submitted to this contest. Steen Aero retains full discretion on whether a submission matches the chosen name for the purposes of awarding the prize.
  5. There is no specific deadline established for choosing a name for the Pitts Model 14, nor is there a time planned to announce the new name or the contest winner (if any.) A name may be selected at any time (either before or after the prototype flies.)
  6. Steen Aero Lab reserves the right to decide who the prize is to be awarded to, if anyone. Steen also reserves the right not to award a prize at all.
  7. This contest is intended to be fun for all involved, and we sincerely hope that the “perfect” name will indeed come from a contest participant. We are however going to focus on getting the plane developed first and foremost, rather than just picking a name for it. All in due time, as they say!
