Larry Renger Published Model Designs
« on: August 08, 2013, 09:29:27 PM »
  Hello Larry;
    Do you have a bibliography of the designs that you have had published? I would just like to review them, and I'm sure lots of others here would also.
   Looking forward to seeing it!

That would make a great list for sure. After all Larry is the only one I know of who got Burt Reynolds to launch one of his models. Right Larry?  y1

Dan,

You might want to limit Larry's listing to a certain page count, otherwise the list is virtually endless.
