- There are a few round these parts too. The Indy meet two weekends ago
- also had Old Time and Nostalgia stunt contests. The VSC does sound like
- an incredible meet that would be unlike anything I've ever been to. I'd
- also love to make the Bladder Grabber someday.

- Yeah Ol' Bob is an interesting person. He doesn't look at all like
- you'd expect the Chief Editor of FM to look like. I got to meet him
- a while back at a Stunt Team Trials where he was selling carbon
- pipes.
-
- I have a friend who is really into the Nostalgia stunt ships so if I
- don't end up building one he'd appreciate having the plans. It does
- sound like a nice airplane, most of the designs from back then were
- real eye-pleasers. It would be fun for a bunch of us net-people to
- get together and all fly the same design, though, wouldn't it? I'd
- have to cover it in silk and dope perhaps.. Monokote would be a crime
- on something like that!
