Larry that one really brought back memories! When I was a teen we moved to Rosewell N.M. I was new in town, and of course quickly found the local hobby shop and started hanging out and making a general nuisance of my self. I made friends with another guy my age - Luis Day, and he was building that Scientific kit. We often sat in his garage and hung out, while the Ambroid dried we always debated whether it would really " Fly a Mile". He was convinced it would, I was the naysayer- the winds in Rosewell were not the best thing for flying FF.
I never did get to see it fly, we moved after a year and he had not finished it yet, a short while later my sister who stayed to finish high school informed me that he had come down with Lukemia, and died shortly thereafter. Put me on the list - I will buy one, and maybe even get to see if Luis was right - I'd love to see it fly a mile, and I'm sure Luis would see it and smile!
