From: Pat McCleave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ...I just read the design article about the Kinetic in this latest issue and have to say it is the best article I have ever read in a model magazine. ===================== Pat beat me to it -- I wanted to say the same. I was tremendously impressed and fascinated by the story behind the Kinetic and the Thundertaker. I have been following the adventures of the DS experts on RC Groups, and this story fills a lot of the blanks that I was wondering about. The design and construction of these planes is just magnificent (and so is the fact that they fly faster than 300 mph). Us thermal guys could get a lot of inspiration from the great work that Messrs Seim, Lisenby, Lilly, Manor and others are doing.
