If you read "About BTE" on this website, you know that I sketched my first model design during my high-school chemistry class. Well, this is it. There is nothing remarkable about the design except for the sentimental value for me. Before this, I had done a lot of doodling and had designed little free flight gliders and stuff like that. But this was the first time I used graph paper and made a scaled-down drawing with thought about dimensions, equipment, rib spacing, etc. It was the first of many bad drawings, and a few good ones, to come.

In case you're wondering about the notation in the corner of the drawing, in school I went by my middle name, Tony.
