Chip,

First of all, congratulations on winning the TOC. I have been around Quique Somenzini some while he has prepared for the last TOC, and from what I saw, it was a huge undertaking. Great job!

I would also like to compliment you on your designing skills. I have a Hydeout that I bought used from a friend of mine (Joey Hayes, I think he got to the F3A finals at the Nats in 2000 with it), and I love it. I am 16 and this is my first pattern plane and I think it is just fantastic. I am looking foreward to getting a Hydeaway after I get some competitions under my belt and I get a little more money.

The Double-vision sure is a neat looking airplane and I hope you do well with it in Poland. Regards.

Ryan Smith
