Thank-you so much for the scan. A local hobby store owner (Cellar Dweller Hobbies) and scale competitor Gerry Fingler did the build and flying for this review. The 79'' wingspan Platt 109 was a game changer at the local flying field as the rest of us were flying 60 size warbirds and competited against this model of the 109 and it 109 seemed huge and unbeatable!. The lady of the cover was a local CKY TV weather girl "Sylvia", the photographer in the article Blaine Raymond also worked at the tv station and got Sylvia to post with the 109 behind this sky back drop.Good memories for me!!

cheers - ken
