"Hello Bruce!
"Here are a couple snapshots from the successful maiden voyage of my Flyin' King this week.
"I want to thank you for the craftsmanship that you put into your products - it really helped me while building your kit!"
In addition to the interesting tail wheel steering mod shown above, I can see that David also changed the dihedral angle in the wing outer panels, which is fine. I also like his simple, but bold, military-ish color scheme. Elegant! One of the great joys as a kit maker is seeing what others do to make one of my designs their own.
Okay, full disclosure! David happens to be a modeling friend of mine, living an hour or so north of BTE. He is the current newsletter editor for the Douglas County R/C Flyers, one of the best club newsletters I know of. That's understandable because he also happens to be a published author and literally wrote the book on the seaplanes of Catalina Island and his adventures while working seven years for Catalina Airlines during its heyday.
