I would appreciate comments from you about what you particularly liked or didn't like about the Kazmirski article. As an author, (of sorts), I'm interested in your feedback on the Kaz! article.

More importantly as it relates to the future, what details or information would you like me to include in the upcoming Simla construction article? What would you like the focus of the article to concentrate on...(ie the background or historical nature of the plane, or the flying characteristics of the completed model)?

I'd also like to get a feel for the mindset of you folks who may potentially want to build your very own Simla. There are several questions the builder will need to ask himself first, such as how are you planning to fly it, (sport or competition), and how do you intend to equip it?

I'm interested in how the prospective builder will want to build and fly their Simla, and how many would like to build it a certain way. What kinds of questions/considerations am I talking about?

Are you going to build yours:

1) As a faithful reproduction in every detail to Ed's, or do you use modern constructions techniques.
2) What kind of power, (and how much power) will you want to use. How many will fly it like Ed did...on a .61?
3) How many will build the original 102" wingspan version, and how many will opt for the 96" NATS version?

Thanks in advance for your input/feedback.

Actual construction details and photos will probably not play that large a part in the article...the builder of this plane will probably, (but not necessarily have to have), experience in building.
