| All up weight is 7oz. A foamy Antoinette which is super easy to build. I made it in a hospital while attending my 88 year old mom who suffered kidneys failure. |

| My thoughts are with your Mom and I wish her well. As usual, this is lovely work. |

| Thank you, DD. Please pray with me for her. She gave my a big smile when I showed her this model and said "I love you". Then I couldn't hold my tears. She was the lady who encouraged me to build aeromodels since I was 6. She gave me money to buy balsa and all tools I needed. Years later, she wanted to see me as an aircraft engineer which I became one till my retirement. A warm and wonderful Mom now needs to hold my hands and keeps on repeating "I luv you,I luv you.." I am crying while writing this to all of you in VA. |

| I tried to fly the mustang, but it is a brick. It was my first balsa model so I was more concerned with getting it together rather than making it fly. It did did make a few short flights so it can rest in honor as it did what planes must do, just not for very long :) |

| Our family will keep your mother in our prayers. I, too had a mother that encouraged me to build my models when I was young. Now when I build as I am older, my memories of her are always there. |

| Very kind of you, thanks, TJH. I am sure many of us were brought up this way. |
