Hot diggity-dog!!!
I recommend reading Bob Hunt's column in the October model Aviation to everyone. Not so much for the content, which may or may not interest you, but for the feeling about it all that Bob is communicating. That sort of thing is what model aviation is all about; getting excited about something, working on it with your friends, congratulating yourself on doing something right. Oh, the excitement! If you haven't felt that kind of joy lately, you need to think about why not. I read his column first, then the rest of the magazine, so I enjoyed it much more than I usually do.
Incidentally, Bob's airplane worked, and he flew it well enough to make the USA CL Precision Aerobatic Team to compete at the World Champs next year.
