LMKWYT,

These are fun, Todd.  The Kestral has a nice, slender airframe that works really
well with it's 'light' designation.  It's good to see that canopy in use as
well.  The angling of the rear fins nicely breaks up the line and gives it some
character.  If I could offer a suggestion, perhaps it would be the addition of
landing gear.  The display stand is a cool add on, but the gear might up the
'play factor' a bit.

The Bloodstar is an interesting use of Bionicle bits and definately looks
menacing.  A personal fault of mine...I just can't completely get my head around
Bionicle construction over traditional brick.  Guess I'm a dinosaur :)

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
-Gil
