It is, perhaps, only fair that one such as yourself, endowed with such knowledge of full size aviation, technical matters pertaining to jet models and possessing clear communication skills should not also be as prescient in matters vinous.

Sir, I fear your third glass of Leeuwin Estate '99 has allowed euphoria to infect you with the same sense of brash certainty enjoyed by the denizens of your adopted homeland! It may well represent the finest efforts of that land of the "tinnie" but not, I am glad to say, the remainder of the civilised world.

As any gentleman knows the finest wine crafted from the chardonnay grape comes from Burgundy, France and is of course Le Montrachet
Domain Andre Remonet, a wine of unparalled celestial profoundness with the ability to make even strong men weep.

I shall, of course, forgive this temporary lapse in the normally reliable and excellent advice given to your avid readers, such as "hopper tanks for beginners" and other rivetting discourses.

In the meantime I remain your obedient servant and look forward to sipping, tasting and savouring your upcoming article in RC Jets on the beguiling Skymasters Hawk.

With kindest regards
