My brother Todd is an entirely modest and humble person so I hope you all will indulge me here so I can brag on him a little. Todd came home a couple of weeks ago for a visit and some flying, something that we just don't get to do as often as we would like. He brought his new fuselage so we could all take a peek. I have to say I am most impressed. The quality of his work is right up there with the best. Todd always strives to better himself and his craft and I am sure his new design will play a large part in his continued success. I know we all are anxious for the Defiant II to take to the air.

While Todd was home he offered me the privledge of flying his latest version of his Defiant I design. While I've always thought his Defiant was a pretty darn awsome airplane I was most impressed with the flying qualities of his latest version. I personally have never flown anything better. It flew easily and very accurately. After the flight was over I looked at him and said that his new design had some very large shoes to fill and I truely mean that. So when Todd offered me his #2 Defiant I at a most resonable price I did not hesitate. We are going to update it to the configuration his is flying now and I can hardly wait to get it in the air. Maybe with an airplane this good I just might have to start flying contests again.

Todd, I just wanted everyone to know how proud I am of you.

Ps. Now can I have a Def II for $50?
