High-Wing Tail Dragger - built by Vincent DeGeorge - of Norfolk, MA. He's 10-years old and did the majority of the work himself (with just a little guidance from Grampa!).
(Grampa writes) "Hi, Wayne. I just wanted to send you a picture of me and my 10-year-old
grandson and our first planes made with your construction plans. Not only
was it fun to do, but it brought us closer together. In addition, he
learned some valuable skills by working with hand tools to actually build
something from scratch and not just another kit to glue together.
He took his plane to school and was a hit with all the teachers who had
never seen anything like it.
Now, he's planning on designing his own plane which we'll attempt to make
based on your plans. Who knows? Maybe this will start him on a career in
design, construction or aviation when he's older.
Thanks for making the plans available. You may never know how many lives
you've changed because of them".
