I was going to post to a micro newsgroup, but I couldn't find one, is there one?

Well, on to the story:
Piloted by the infamous "Red Baron" (Baron Friedrich Von Richthofen), during
WWI, this red Tri-wing flew info history, and now into my Lego creations.
The German Tri-wing also apeared in many other colors, but the Red Baron's,
being the most reconisable, and easyest to build with Legos was my choice.

I built this model to be displayed hanging from the celing of my Lego town's
hobby store.  I chose the tri-wing on the above basis, and that it looked
the best out of about 5 designs.  I built this plane "upside down", to allow
the smallness of the 1x2 tail.  The plane consists of four 1x3 plates, a 1x1
round plate, and a 1x2 plate with a centered stud, a total of 6 pieces.
This airplane already has poeple close by me talking about it.  I'm planing
on building a few more for the hobby store to "sell".
