Thanks Mike and Brian for your kind words, I really appreciate your opinions. I hope to run across you guys at a some contests next season. I know I can always learn a lot from you guys.

Brother Curt has been a big help to me with the MKII. He's a CAD wiz and was the one who put my plans together. He's always been willing to lend his skills when needed.

Really though, brothers Clay and Curt are far better builders than I. I just hide everything with paint! These two and my dad flew pattern hot and heavy in the 80's. Unfortunatly I was out of the hobby then trying to get my career off the ground. I really wish I could have gone to contest with them, it would have been fun. They have talent for sure. Maybe someday I'll talk them back into the game . Clays currently building a Mach 1. The fuse so far looks like a work of art. Hopefully when he's a little further along, he'll post pics in the classic section. It's definatly worth a look.

Curt said it all in his mention about our dad. We were, and are, fortunate to have a guy like him for our dad. When our freinds were out getting in trouble, we were in the shop building planes with him. He taught us a lot about this hobby and it's kept us all close over the years. I'm really fortunate to have 3 brothers and my dad as best friends.
