Thanks Bill,
That is a fantastic flight! I don't fly that good in my dreams!
I can see many more CL contests being held next year, back east, from NOV to MAR!!!
I have seen flights like this with our 3D R/C foamies indoors. My guess is that this is a plate wing foamy with a lot of offset like Mike said. Our R/C foam (Depron?) flat wing planes don't really fly, it is much more like "Force Vectoring" with the EL just pointing the motor in the direction you want to go to get the "track" you want to follow in the sky, (gym? ;-).
They are amazing machines. One of mine is about the size of a Jr. Flight Streak, weighs 15 oz (heavy, some this size are 11 oz.), it is painted, with full LG, steerable tailwheel, 4 CH radio, and a BIG Hacker motor. It goes straight up, out of my hand, doing rolls until it is out of sight. When I get a chance, I want to put lines in one of my foamies to try it. After seeing this video, I am getting more motivated to do so. :-) ..... Thanks again Bill.
