Godspeed Mr. Berg. I really can't think of a much better way to go.

We will really miss Hans. Hans built an RHJ-8 which I now own,
and later started an RHJ-9. After he built the wings of the '9, he
decided he didn't want another two-seater and designed and built
a scaled-up HP-14 fuselage and thus the RHJ-10 was born.
Hans flew the RHJ-10 to the first 500km within Ontario but
the photo shop cut the film !

He was a great guy and a master craftsman. Hans even showed
me how to hammer compound curves in aluminum. Now I make
my own replacement RHJ-8 gear doors (since I often destroy them).

Glad I got to see him one last time when he visited the Seniors
in March. We'll really miss him.

Best Regards, Dave YO "RHJ-8 whale"
