Default RE: Loving the AE .2cc with video

Hello Derek,

Iam expressing my thanks to you, for all to see. Your work (and David's too) on my little AE.02 obviously is what it needed, as shown by the video. I am delighted that it now runs so well!

I plan to install the AE .02 in my next small airplane, a 16" w.s.reduced size "Dakota". The design is a 50's vintage all-sheet balsa biplane by Joe Wagner. It was a low-cost Veco kit, built by <u>many </u>boys here in the States...Don't know if it was exported or not.

I will install a ParkZone micro rudder-only unit in it just to make sure it stays close by. The original "Dakota's" were designed to fly in lazy circles at around head-height, to fly in neighborhood schoolyards. Most were powered by OK Cub .049's, K&amp;B .020 and .035 Infants, and later Cox's. Back then, for diesels, we only had McCoy's, which were way too powerful for the Dakota. Even low-powered with a faltering K&amp;B Infant .020, my F/F Dakota was caught in a wild Texas thermal and flew away to Dakota heaven!

Derek, thanks so much for lending your expertise to get this little jewel to run so well!

Bill
