I flew the second and third designs at the O.F.F.C. ROG Unlimited contest this morning. I didn't have my revised Side Effect there since I had not finished covering the wing. While they were not competitive against indoor models half their weight (I finished 6th.) I was able to make them to turn inside the room and get consistent 50 second plus flights.
Flown the way they are intended, as outdoor models for newbies, people who have difficulty building with 1/16" sticks and just plain fun flying, they fly very well. I will have all three of them, plus Dave Gee's Climber on my web site in a couple of weeks...as soon as I can decide what to name the ones I flew today. (Note: Dave Gee will be posting a video of the twin tailed one where I didn't quite get it to turn in the room. He called it "The Flight That Will Live In Infamy.")
