Wow, that's really interesting Bruce. Thanks for the brief geology lesson. I
think I will look into this some more and post up my findings. This post site
is truly one of LUGNET's best. You never know what you are going to get
here. Sometimes it is silly, grumpy, factual, confrontational, etc. A real
mixed bag that I truly enjoy.
On another note, where are all you aeronautical engineers? I want to know
what you thought of the other five airplanes in the line, not just the biwing
baron and pontoon plane. Let us hear from you about the white biwing, the
balloon, the dirigible, and the minis. We want to know your thoughts.
And a final note, hey Joseph where are you? Toss in your two cents when you
have time.
