Some comments on the Chameleon One Design from John K. of the Glastonbury Modelers.
“When we started the Armstead Trophy event years ago, the concept was to build a simple, quirky indoor-oriented model and fly it throughout the season to post a high time. Over the years, the event has evolved to more complicated designs including designs intended for outdoor flying. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, I’d like to reel the event back to its roots with a simple model.”
As is their usual practice, the Stealth Squadroneers will be flying their Scrappy one design models in a series of fun events in the Penn Brook Middle School gym in 2025. The Calendar will be updated soon with the Penn Brook dates. We’re really looking forward to flying the “12 minutes of Georgetown event” with Scrappy this coming season!

One-Design Event Background
For several years now, the Stealth Squadron and the Glastonbury Modelers, based in Glastonbury, CT have been sponsoring a joint One Design Event in their respective indoor free flight model airplane competitions. The indoor flying season for each of these Flying Aces Club “squadrons’ (local model airplane clubs) runs from November through April. Between the two clubs there is ample opportunity to fly these One Design Models which makes this one of the most popular events. Member enthusiasm and participation runs high as the One Design subject and plan is announced before each indoor flying season!
