Mike Glass has a new foamie he’s calling the B&W Matrix. It’s made with black and white foam used in a really ingenious way to give the plane its unique look and its structure. There was more to see about Mike’s plane at his website but he’s closed that down now and gone out of business.

Mike brought it out to the field Sunday and put it in the hands of Rick Casella to have it wrung out. They worked all day fine tuning, cutting foam and getting it to do its best. Alan Wander brought his (he and Mike built it the night before) and flew it as well. Mike and Rick had the prototype flying beautifully by the end of the day.
