Your words say one thing, but your actions betray you. You chose a plane with the lowest AR, blew up the stab to the maximum ad-hoc standard, and created a local set of requirements that exist in no rule-book. That's Indoor all the way (except for the last part, of course).

Heck yeah it is the equivalent of any other Indoor duration class: try to figure out how to get the maximum duration within a given set of parameters. That's what makes it fun. That's why I enjoyed proxying your model. That's why you were proud of the time it did. I don't recall us discussing which model most closely met the spirit of FAC. We talked about which one flew the longest.

Admit it - you are as competitively minded as the rest of us. Which is why you've had trouble meshing with the FAC state-of-mind, too :)
