Any supplies will also go to the teacher. This is a small school, (10 kids in 4th & 5th grade).Teacher has plenty of contact with parents. Any e-mail questions and advice will be done from : 1) Home computer, parents are given Web page URL and e-mail contact address by teacher. 2) No home computer, questions relayed by teacher through her e-mail. I will write up some construction tips with strong emphasis on safety. I will stress the importance of direct parental supervision especially as relates to the use of glue. The teacher can give any building supplies, (thanks to y'all who have volunteered to contribute these) and contact information, (thanks again to all who have offered to do this as well), directly to the parents so they are in control of the situation relative to dangerous supplies and contact with strangers. In fact I intend to recommend that if they wish to avail themselves of the e-mail help, then the parents or teacher should initiate the contact. sp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 17:39:49 -0600 From: "cameron rile" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Esci Camel [was Re: Sopwith Camel two-seaters] Message-ID: dfernet0 wrote: > A two seater camel?

The forward fuselage, cowl and plywood area was pretty thick in details too. I sanded the ribbing on the wings off, filed down the forward fuselage and cut out the engine. My attempt at a scratchbuilt Clerget was pretty clumsy but it was fun doing it. The decals that came with kit have the centre red spot of the roundal out of centre too, so they are pretty much useless.

BvB jumped all over me for that suggestion. She took it as telling them what to do with our gift. She may have a point. Perhaps the info about the List and the e-mail contacts should go directly to the teacher. If the kids have questions, or the parents have concerns, then let the teacher provide the information as needed. It's her class and that way she remains in control of the situation.
