 A Replacement Glider

The FlatCat-C was constructed to replace FlatCat-B, #117, which was lost on its maiden flight in October of 2018.

 
Construction and color scheme is identical to the previous version.  This glider will be flown using the original pop pod numbered 117.

 One minor difference from its predecessor is found in the FlatCat logo drawn on the wing.  I took a bit of cartoonists’ license to change the expression on the cat’s face!
