Our club had its model airshow last weekend and this was one of the 'flying contraptions' -- i don't know, is it a plank :? ?

Nifty, did you see the full scale version, sounds like the thing is about to explode :)

I won one in last year's SEFF raffle. Mine was called the Park Hawk and was pretty cool. I liked it because it had lots of carbon fiber and moving parts (think helicopter). But the novelty soon wore off and it got kinda boring to fly. It really couldn't much besides just fly around. It always got attention whenever it was in the air, but I ended up swapping it for NIB Zagi which I've had a lot more fun with.
If you've got the money (about $200), and want something unique, an ornithopter is hard to beat!
