Bill,
Thanks for the advise. I will try heavier motors. I have been trying lighter
motors in hopes that the weight savings would improve times, but so far it
hasn't. Cluttered low ceilings are in some ways more challenging than a high
ceiling site. Especially because your results are dependent on a lot of luck
concerning how much hitting you get away with.

Anyway, my answer - at least what I attempt to do - is try to slow down the
climb with more camber and more pitch, then get into the cruise phase after a
few gentle hits. I use the heaviest rubber I can get away with to extend the
cruise. What I try hard to avoid is being in a steep climb when I hit the
ceiling so that my model doesn't go over the obstructions between hits.
