no, the model pilot is not a model of me. *im free of facial hair, although
i do often wear a tan bucket hat when flying.

My cherokee does have a red yaw string, although now that im replacing the
canopy glass it may have gotten thrown out.

haha now there's an idea. RC car pulls a model trailer up to the minature
airport, glider assembled, critical assembly and positive control checks
complete, hook up to the model airplane, and away they go!

he hasn't flown it yet, to my knowledge. *he finished it last winter and
planned to fly it this spring. I'll report back once I learn something.
Im interested to hear how the model handles compared to the real thing.

That's a nice model!


Now, do you wear a beige hat and a red shirt when flying? *Do you have
brown eyes and a moustache? *Does your ship have a red yaw string?


Did the modeler build a trailer to match your trailer?


Has he flown it yet? *Any reports on the flying qualities?

Now if he models your trailer, he should also model the Alero down to
the fine datails of the Jet Fuel only gas cap sticker and the ratchet
strap holding on your hitch :-)
