Well! It will certainly be fun watching you build this historic aircraft. I'll bet you built more than one of the old Guillow's Albatros in the 1950s (I can't remember if it was a II or a V).

Were your ears burning? Rick and Pedro (Silver Oxide) were talking about you during dinner tonight, after setting up for Army Heritage Days. Pedro often uses a technique in his scratch-built models of laminating strips of paper until they take on some of the characteristics of wood. We recall that you used a similar technique, building what was essentially a stick-and-tissue model, except that the stringers, ribs, and formers were all laminated paper.

Anyway, you are clearly off to a good start and I continue to be amazed at your productivity and the high quality of your work.

Bravo zulu, Boats.

Don
