[WWI] Taube has flown

[Douglas R. Jones]

No help, huh?! You are a brave lad. The good thing is these foamies can 
be tough and fly slow enough that you stand a decent chance of 
succeeding. I see you have already been bitten ;-) Thinking about pink 
foam semi-scale fliers? Very cool.

Good luck and keep us posted!
