Well,

Here it is!

I test tossed it this late afternoon and in ZERO wind and fading light. Only minor trim changes during the flight - this baby FLOATS!

For a 33 oz foamie I was very pleased! I was tossing from a small "bump" at the end of two soccer fields - maybe about 8 feet above the field and it went accros the one field and 1/4 the way across the other - very nice!

I tossed it back and forth a few times then stood on the "bump" and did 360 degree throw and catches until it was dark! Turns well, doesn't fall out or into the turn, well tempered!

I will set up my bungie launch tomorrow! It seems to handle very well, but given the conditions I was trying to "float it" so I will need to really put it through its paces before I make the final call but so far I am STOKED!

Here is a photo of the finished project:
