Katie,
I watched you design, and build a limited penny plane this past spring. You
don't need duration building lessons, you need to be giving them. It's a
shame your model got hopelessly snared by the netting in it's early trim
flights. Next time remember what Fred Rash says, "You paid your money,
just like everyone else, you get to fly from the middle of the floor too."
How close was that quote Fred?
The Pro-AM was an awesome experience. I hope it continues in some form or
another.
Ken
