About a month back there was an active thread on the list about the subject.
The source mentioned was a Mr. Digmayer in the Czech Republic.  I think Ivan
tried to find him to no avail.  Question:  Has anyone located the elusive
prop carver, Mr. Digmayer?

Dont worry, I think the copywrite problems are nonexistant.   I purchased this
on Ebay a couple of weeks ago.   For those of you who have not seen this 
1918 Postcard, a little weekend treat!!

That's pretty funny.  I love dogs, but my mother in law has a dacshund that
is completely obnoxious. :)

This must refer to an article in "Flight" magazine. Amazing how influenti=
al
Flight was at the time, even in official circles, in this and countless
other cases.
BTW - I've seen lots of DSA's superb work but never seen the man himself.
I'm curious about his name. Is he oriental?

His address is usually in Windsock I think, but doesn't he have a pretty
strong connection with Copper State Models? I see his name on plans in
their kits, along with vouchers for money off his propellors.
I've never actually seen the props over here - are they worth the money?
Seem awfully expensive to me.
(Says he contemplating spending 70GBP on an AJP Caudron!)

Working from memory here- no he's not Asian but he was raised in China, or
born there, maybe both, I believe his parents were missionaries or some such.
DanSan is some form of an endearment. WW I Aero had a piece by him a few years
ago about his father's involvement with one of the first airplanes to fly in
China- complete with plans drawn by DSA.

Just put the final touches on my Smer DH-2. Well final till I see something
else to mess with on it :) Now to find someone around here with a 35mm
camera and a macro lens. It was begun in late May and I worked on nothing
else save a 2 wk break to build a 1:48 F7F for a friend. The workbench is
cleaned off and all the tools & paints are put up; hummm, looks
unusual...have to do something about that.

Hi Kids!

   Last year there was a show on either Discovery or A&E about (who else?) the
Red Baron.  Dan Abbott was one of the "talking heads" on the show.  (Not
oriental in appearance, anyway, if that makes any difference.)  THE
CONTROVERSY was brought up, and the various opinions were expressed.  FWIW,
Dan likes to think he was shot down by another pilot, one of his own kind, not
a "mere" ground gunner, but he did not weigh in heavily on that side.

   FWIW, and while his work is not perfect (in the eyes of some), I must
express a great admiration for the man.  He is kind and generous to a fault,
not to mention talented.

Have Fun!!

Greetings one an all.
Those of you that have been on the list for the last year or better, will
remember when I first came on board that I had been looking for
information on building the Revell 1/28th DR1.    Well, unbeknownst to
many of you, I did build it, and not only that I entered it in the
National competition in Santa Clara this past July.  Although I was very
proud of the outcome, and felt that I had dome a commendable job, the
judges were not as enthralled.  Needless to say it did not even place,but
thats OK, I build mostly for myself, and not for competition. 

However, someone must have liked it.  Today as I was surfing through the
IPMS home page,  I discovered on page two of the photos of aircraft from
the National contest in Santa Clara, there before me was my DR1. 
SO....surf on over to the following:
		www.lizpope.com/NATPIX/aircraft/dr1.jpg

Revell's 1/28th DR1 may be dated, but she still makes up into a pretty
Aeroplane.

Must feel very nice. Looking forward to seeing pictures of it.

I have one of those lying around too. Could use the inspiration.
