This is one of the main reasons I love this forum. It's so cool when the original designers appear and provide info and history about their designs. But then, I spent nine years in grad school getting degrees in history so, I have a bias towards it.

Thanks for posting Dick.

Scott, do you have a list anywhere of the classic pattern planes you are re-kitting? I didn't see them on your web site. Between you, Don Turnock, William Kaminsky, Jeff Petroski, Dan Hines, Dennis Hunt, Wing Mfg/Bob Harris and others (sorry I didn't list you) it's hard to keep track of who is kitting what. And, I have a few I'm working on and don't want to overlap anyone else's efforts.
