At last! I finally got my first sub 30 FMC solution. I am really happy with this solution, especially since I was able to get to AB4C in just 21 moves. The scramble was from the Weekly Berkley FMC, so in case anyone is going to do it, I put it all in spoilers. I got this yesterday, but forgot to post it in this thread.
Also, I do not know if there is anything that you see that I should have thought about with this solution, but if you have any thoughts, I would be more the happy to hear them.
Scramble: F L' R' F2 U2 L' F D2 R' U2 B' D F' B L U' D B' U2 F'
F B R2 D R' U2 R2 U'//2X2X2 [8/8]
B' L D B L'//F2L-1 [5/13]
D' B' D B2 R' B' R D //AB4C [8/21]
1st Skeleton: F B R2 D R' & U2 R2 U' B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D [21 moves]
Insert at &: R' D' R U2 R' D R U2 [cancels 4 moves]
2nd Skeleton: F B R2 D R2 D' R U2 R' D R' $ U' B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D
Insert at $: R U' L' U R' U' L U [cancels 4 moves]
Final solution:
F B R2 D R2 D' R U2 R' D U' L' U R' U' L B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D [29 moves]
Nice one - keep it up!
With your start I can get a slightly shorter skeleton (with the same number of unsolved corners) but the insertions are actually worse.
