It is wonderful to know that another of George’s masterpieces still exist.

It is interesting to see that the flaps are clipped on the original. His MAN plans did not show that.

My aluminum silver one flew near perfect on its first flight. I haven’t made a change.

 Tom,

 You might consider adding "Not Dead" or something to that effect in your title here, had a bad feeling prior to opening this one.
Narrowly averting disaster since 1964!
