I don't think a U-control aircraft will fly with ought some DNA on it.  I have never owned one didn't have some DNA on it so I am not sure of this!   LL~   LL~   LL~

a few local musicians use my shop for repairs and even to build their own and the only two rules I have posted are; clean up your mess as soon as you make it, and don't bleed on the equipment!

If OSHA and other safety-minded organizations knew what we all did for fun and enjoyment, we would probably all be in jail.  %^@

John Rist is correct.. They must have some DNA, preferably the red  variety in order to fly. H^^ All mine do.

My father always used to say there's no way of learning how not to cut yourself, except by cutting yourself.  I've got it down to about one cut per model now...

There's no remission of non-flying sins without the shedding of blood.

Just think, now if the plane is ever stolen you can prove it is yours when found. D>K

I learned years ago that no plane will ever fly properly until you've made a blood sacrifice to the airplane gods, and prove your "oneness" with the plane by gluing your fingers to it.

We were working on Ben's plane last week and I got a finger, told him I don't think I've ever built one that didn't have a bloodmark of mine  y1

9 stiches when I was a kid building a peanut scale. These days I'm leaving my DNA all over the house. Recently, i managed to nail my thumb to a floor joist doing some blocking out in my basement. Good times, good times y1
