That's great, Mike -- I love the creativity of taking a theme and "running away" with it! All the varied support and resources are what makes this hobby so great to be a part of; especially as a designer and/or scratch builder.
Speaking of which, brings me to Chad:
I just want to express again how grateful I am to you, for all the support and advice you have provided me (and so many others within the RCU community) over the years. I eagerly follow your builds, and have always been very impressed with the results. Your original CzechMates (built with your friend) were the very first version I ever saw modeled accurately. It was beautiful, and a joy to see take to the air. I look forward to seeing the progress of Perestroika, and its successful flights, as well.
Thanks for the continued encouragement, and for staying with us, gentlemen!
