<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>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></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Hanson
