What do nearly all simpleplanes have in common? Control surfaces. They ARE vital, after all... or are they? Your challenge is to create a plane with NO (yes, none. no exceptions) control surfaces. (What I mean is no elevators/ailerons on the wings, just so we're clear)

Rotators will be the common choice, or will you be creative in solving the problem?

Entries due Monday, August 10.
I will judge based on:

-maneuverability/stability
-Looks
-Creativity
-Effectiveness

1st: 7 5-stars
2nd: 5 5-stars
3rd: 3 5-stars

And people will also probably get a 4 or 5 star for entering, so good luck!!
