Oscar,Thanks for all your writings, musing, observations and advice. I don't respondto your postings very often because they don't elicit direct responses. But theyare very enjoyable and make me think about the wonders of flight and all thejoy it brings me and others.Thank you,Ray KrauseBuilding a SkyScout...almost here.Sent from my iPad> On Aug 2, 2016, at 8:44 PM, taildrags wrote:> > > Excellent, Terry; thank you for sharing the article.
