I can remember back to a time when I would have considered a 33" model a BIG model!

Lovely! And congratulations for building it to 9 oz RTF, while looking so good--a real accomplishment!

Own plans or did you get them somewhere?

They are my own plans. Took a week to design and construct.

A week? It took you an entire week? What else did you do with all your spare time?

Great looking model Dave. Now you don't need a simulator, you can practice with the little one!!

Guess that explains why the DH-2 hasn't shown up yet.

Actually, you must be physic Dennis. I just finished boxing up your DH2 stuff. It goes out tomorrow. Iwill be interested in your feedback on the plans as it will be a construction article for Back Yard Flyer. It was great seeing you guys at E Fest.

Hopefully in '09, I'll have something for the indoor scale contest. Also, with a little luck, you have taken care of all the DH2 midair problems for years to come. Hard to believe that little airplane was such a magnet.
