Awesome Jim. Will we be seeing this at Rhinebeck 2020? I spoke with you this year at Rhinebeck regarding your SPAD XIII. Did you fix the damage yet?

Hi Jim, fine job, HUGE model. If the B-52 is the Aluminum Overcast, then the Gotha bomber is the Balsa Overcast. Ha. A lot of dedication to build the Gotha. Lane

That is one great looking bomber. I remember seeing a video of the plane in flight with the engines being worked on while under way! WOW!

Thanks, guys. It's been a great airplane. I didn't get a chance to fly the Gotha this year but I will be taking it to the DP Rendevous in Dayton next year and to the Hoosier Dawn Patrol. I only fly it at events because it takes a while to put together and at events I can leave it assembled all weekend.

Jim
