| Actually my P-18 design prepared for an OFFC contest. |

| It flew extremely well at a practice session but I didn't get to fly it in the contest because my wife's dermatologist scheduled an appointment for that morning. There is an ROG Unlimited contest scheduled for December 31 (Indoor, any rubber powered model that can ROG.) so I put landing gear on it. I flew it at a practice session yesterday but that afternoon my wife's dermatologist scheduled an appointment for the morning of the 31st. Getting old ain't for sissies!
For the rules observant among you that model is not covered with film. I happened to come across some very light produce bags. |

| Very good to see a very different flyer on here! Can we see some flying pics? |

| I will try to get some flying pictures or videos. I warn you, that at the speeds these things fly the videos will not be very exciting. This one is about 1-1/2 grams over the minimum for the class. I'm building another one with lighter wood to be right at the minimum to be competitive. |

| OK, here is a video of it flying. It's on a very short motor just to get the video under a minute. On a contest length motor it would take a minute to get to the ceiling.

| It’s pretty neat you can fly it in such an enclosed space. |
