camdyson,

Thanks for the lead. I didn't think that this was a new idea, I just couldn't find the kind of proof that you found. It doesn't bother me that others have done this before. I jus think it is an interesting problem to solve and should turn a few heads at the field. From the two pictures in that link it appears that a lot of what has been discussed here is similar to some of the techniques that was built into this model. Seeing it in real life and apparently in flying condition is really encouraging.

To things did catch my eye. First the post is relatively new 6/9/07 and second, it looks to me like this plane has its main wing turned around so that it is flying in its proper direction (but I could be wrong). If so, I would like to build one where the wing profile is reversed.

Thanks again, good work!

It would be fun to have a challange at the local club to build some of these things and have some competitions related to looks, aerobatics, and overal creativity.
