87 makes sense, I tried 5 times and almost set my glider on fire. I have a gas range.

Wow! He is building "my" aircraft! (Actually my Dad taught me that one.) That is what I show all the kid when I have a chance. What a beautiful machine to show the effect of aerodynamics.

I first saw this model of paper aircraft more than 50 years ago in an annual "Rupert Book", a collection of serialized comics based on the adventures of Rupert Bear and his pals taken from the pages of the
Daily Mail in the UK. My mother taught me to read using these books, one of which I received every year at Christmas. Rupert used it to send a message after he had been locked up in a tower by some evil character. Go Rupert!
