Eddie,

As I recall, the tweedy burd was my first wholy owned pattern model way back in 1978. I was flying it just fine at the open field we had in College; but when I arrived at a new field where I wanted to become a member, the local so called "expert" just had to try it out to make sure it was airworthy. What's a 23 year old new kid on the block to do. He proceeded to crash it. I vowed to myself that that was never going to happen again and it hasn't
