The Fairwind isnothing more than a plagiarized "Piet" with wider fuselage, differenttailfeathers, wingtips and slightly taller undercarriage. Theconstruction is similar but incorporating several other things I'velearned from the shade-jocks over the years. It certainly isn't a Piet.I learned that quickly enough. I was intrigued by some of the changesseveral builders made to their projects and wanted to incorporateseveral things of my own, so I got together with my folks and came upwith something to call it in order to minimize the damage as I step onsome toes. Richard may carry my build on his site, or I may get run offwith a stick.....I dunno yet. I expect I'll take some more flak overthis before I am through, but this is what I want to do. "Martin", bythe way, is a family surname......we aren't all Scot.Thanks for asking. We must have drummed up a catchy name.Dannymac________________________________________________________________________________
