I bought the kit 2nd hand, because the picture looked so 
cool, and
after reading Rob Johnson's web site, I thought that "I 
can do that"

Last spring I got to visit Sid Knox and sit in his V. but 
it was down for an annual.
(he has offered to take me up, but I just haven't been 
able to get back to see him)

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of planes on the ramp 
this weekend.
It's good for jumpstarting the "building spirit"
