| Another question boys, how did this sweet little photo end up back on top of the pile without anyone commenting on it? |

| As her new husband I say thanx for the kind words. I am also curious, has there been any other VAD marriages. You guys seem kinda cool on the idea? Maybe it is my smart mouth or lack of production of late? I have been a bit distracted |

| Well, the basic construction looks quiete straight to me. And you can paint the tissue ... Building a straight plane does not come by itsself. I built a number of crooked planes but each one is a little more straight than the previous one. |

| I'm gonna really 'tick ' her off and post photos of the Sterling extra 300 that she started. To be fair we both got stalled after trying to use micro fill to smooth out dimples in tissue covering, once you start with that, every little bump in the finish seems to need another coat and more sand, sand, sand and before you know what hit you, you are sitting in a pile of white dust ordering more filler |

| This is a Dumas Kit which left out a lot of directions. . . .that's why I started to build the Extra 300 before I finished this plane because I got so frustrated with it. |

Also problems with the wing root. 3 different color tissue paper makes this look like a Puerto Rican Prom Dress. |

| You were very lucky your girlfriend took such a keen interest in your hobby elevatoranj. I wish my wife were even vaguely interested but it's just not going to happen! |
