| I definitely like the landing gear. Simple to build, yet visually tasty. I also like the taper along the aft section of the body. I haven't figured out how to taper properly - yet. You and Rick seem to have a knack for pulling that off. -Duane (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)

| Hi Everyone, I made a VTOL Patrol craft and snapped a few pics at the SEALUG meeting on Saturday.
