Mike, David Schaefer has flown his converted free flight model many times. Including a flight at LDRS last year.
I can't recall his E-mail address offhand (and I wouldn't post it here if I could) but he is the chairman of the NAR level 3 committee so there should be something on the NAR website if you want to contact him.
There are some photos and videos of a flight here:

They are near the bottom of the page.
Notice that Dave put a couple of white stripes on the bottom to help him figure out which side was up during flight.
