<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The real beginnings, as far as I can tell, stem
from Steve Helms. Steve built a pattern airplane called "Bootlegger" while
he lived in California in 1975 or so. This had an OPS rear exhaust marine
engine in it. This was the first attempt to completely house the engine so
that the engine and exhaust were "inside" the model. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the time, the Phoenix's and others had side
mounted engines. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was just a sleeker look that drove the
change.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, Dean. I know you're one of
those with NOT "faded memories"....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> FYI - although I was NEVER
able to really, truly, authenticate the reason for the 2M x 2M rule, one
can find a very real, and plausible explanation, by investigating
international metric housing design "standards"....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> One *could* discover that
nearly ALL door frames in the known universe are at LEAST 2M of vertical
opening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> A thought to
ponder....</FONT></DIV>
