Well, I am definitely interested in flying scale, though I am just starting
out and am getting there slowly. My ultimate goal is to build and fly a
DH9A, which is what my father flew in WW I, and later in Northern Russia.
I'm also researching that general subject area, and hope to complete a book
on my father's early life.

I hang out in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
