Contest Graphics 
Construction:  Concept Sketch.....
 
Prototype design.  Built for free flight testing.  Looks very unique!
Second Prototype.  Looks even more unique.  Question?  Does IT fly?
 
 
 
 It Flies!  Well, for a few seconds anyway.  Looks like it is back to the drawing board.  Dave thinks it will only need a larger tail section.  He had very little control with this design.
 Looking good Dave!
 
 
 
 
Well, it kinda flies.  Straight down it flies!  Ouch....



Day of the Contest
The wind conditions were poor, it was hot (100+) and there was no area to land.
The standard pose just before flight.
Dave's first flight looked good until he learned he could not turn left or right.  The plane was smooth and he had good elevator control which he did not have with his protoype.
Here you can see how rough the landings really were..
