Jerry Vasilik from Rochester, NY, carrying his flying Santa Claus
(sorry, no e-raindeer).
The model is built from 1/2" blue foam. The motor is a Magnetic
Mayhem (reversed timing), with a 3:1 Master Airscrew gearbox and a
folding Master Airscrew 12x8 prop. Flight time is 5 minutes with an
8-cell 2400 mAh NiCd pack. 18" span, 20" long, and weighs 35 ounces.
Santa himself is built up from balsa and foam sheeting, and the model
is painted with household latex paints. The radio is a Hitec Eclipse 7
with Hitec 555 RCD receiver and two HS-81 servos for elevon control.
It's a handful of a plane to fly!
(Thanks to his brother Andrey for the info.)

Shown here hanging on its prop; this design did amazing
stunts!

realistically.

David Theunissen came all the way from England (fortunately
arriving in the States before the WTC attacks shut down all air
travel). He brought with him an all-foam (DERPRON) aerobatic
slow flyer in a suitcase. Tom Hunt (CD) let David borrow a
72MHz Rx and Tx for it as they fly on 35MHz "across the pond".
The plane attracted a lot of attention and on the left you see
Bob Kopski interviewing David about his plane.
