<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just recently had an experience with one of our
long time pattern suppliers that needs to be shared. Awhile back I purchased a
deluxe kit version of this gentleman's FAI design. The workmanship on the fuse,
wings, stab and rudder are second to none, light, straight and accurate. If a
part was marked 42 grams, that part weighed 42 grams ( yes, everything was
weighed by this gentleman and marked ). The level of pre-fabrication was
extensive, firewall, nose ring and motor mount installed, wing and stab tubes
and adjusters installed and wings/stabs aligned, wings/stab and rudder virtually
ready to cover, fixed gear supplied and mounted, and a crystal clear canopy was
supplied. The deluxe kit was delivered to my door in a short period of time,
packaged so even UPS couldn't hurt it and came with detailed instructions. I'm
ashamed to say how much I paid for this beautiful piece of craftsmanship as
I honestly feel it was worth twice what I paid for it. Life being what it
is, I'm just now nearing completion of this plane after having it for over
a year. Due to a really bone head thing I did, I ruined the rudder before
the Monokote application. I called this gentleman and explained I ruined the
rudder and inquired if he could pre-fab a new one for me. That was less than a
week ago and in my possession right now is my new rudder, again, a perfect
piece of master craftsmanship. I have owned 5 designs by this gentleman and
still have 3 of them. Those that know me here in NSRCA district 1 can
attest to the flight qualities of these airplanes. I will without doubt own more
of his designs for 2 reasons, they fly great but more importantly because this
gentleman is a first class designer, builder and person. If you've ever had
dealings with this man you've probably already guessed his name, Dick Hanson. If
you haven't, I strongly suggest you do. My sincere thanks Dick.</FONT></DIV>
