| Your Sabre looks as real as the one I saw last week at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio,a museum I thoroughly enjoyed. Also visited the Air Zoo in Michigan, and the Glenn Curtiss Museum in N.Y., both filled with great aviation exhibits. |

| It is with great sadness that I inform the site of the passing of David "Poppy" Couch, May 20 at his home in DeSoto, TX. Poppy was my mentor, a truly outstanding model builder, and a really nice person and great friend. RIP |

| Lately, everything I build flies, but I'm tempted to do a static just to see if I can do a museum quality build like Poppy and Dave D. Ouch! I posted this before I read half way down the list of replies. Sorry to hear of his passing. |
