^^^^I'm pretty sure I saw that actual plane in the US at a museum...though the specific details elude me.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

I remember you most definitely.

Are you still building model airplanes and driving odd scooters and drinking rum?   ;D

Welcome back!!

Welcome back man.

I have had some wonderful adventure vacations since! Wife and I have been to about 22 countries now!
Our last trip was a Panama Canal cruise starting from Ft. Lauderdale to Cartagena Colombia, then through the Panama Canal to Panama City on the pacific coast, Putarenas Costa Rica, San Juan De Sur Nicaragua, then Huatulco and Puerto Vallarta Mexico then off in LA and flew home. This little guy was a 5-ton baby Humpback having fun in Bahia de Banderas (Bay of Flags) off the coast of Puert Vallarta.

I made a little friend in Colombia, a 7-month old 3-toed Sloth, his name was Shaggy; I held him for half an hour, he was so sweet and he did not want to let me go.

Just finished another plane, this one was a commission build for a client, it involved some serious scratch mods as the original kit has some errors in the shape of the top wing and the fuselage was way too thick. Flown by 28-victory German ace Alfred Laumann. I hope you like it!

^^ Very nice. Are these kits or did you build them from scratch?
I love it when a plan comes together.

What about scooters?

Are those days behind you or you still riding?
