I can somewhat see the quads maybe, but that glider went like 5 feet. I'm not one to complain about the outcome of contest..........but I smell Shenanigans. Yours still kicked backside.
Help! Looking for 3D Printed Rc Airplane design Ideas!

And you got it done! BTW, you had a chance to try flying it yet?
Mr Man
Mr SPEED!
Nope, not yet. Probably won't be able to for another week. But I can build in the meantime 😂

Ah okay!👍 I need to get some paint on my radjet and then start on the VTOL build! (4/5 sheets cut out)

Shoot, was hoping to see at least Mr Man's plane in that line up.
I suspect they prioritized stuff with really good documentation and that was easily accessible unfortunately. Both Mr. Man's and mine were probably pretty technically competent compared to most of the entries, but both require a fair bit of skill on the part of the pilot where a stabilized quad is about as easy to fly as it gets. I also know I didn't include good assembly documentation and Mr. Man's didn't have a flight video, so I feel ok with the outcome.
As an RC enthusiast, the glider is meh, but as a 3D printing enthusiast it is stunningly well engineered and I will be downloading it and taking notes, so I suspect that's why it won - guess competing on a 3D printing website I should have gone for printing over good flight performance
