I admit that I like to pick on the electric guys, but that is really cool! 8) No wind, no rain, nice temperatures. Awesome!

On the R/C indoor aerobatics side people realised some years ago that very light aircraft at very low speeds fly well with flat surfaces. At those speeds and weights,it is not so much about aerodynamics, as fluid mechanics.
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.
