Hi Janet

Instead of sending a photo, I thought I would send this magazine article.  It has photos and I have been told that the reading is entertaining.

The airplane is a replica of a 1930's air racer.  My Dad and I had access to the original bare-bones airframe when it showed up at Oshkosh in 1990.  We measured and photographed the original, then made plans and built the airplane.  Almost every thing you see came from Wicks aircraft.  There is NO Aircraft Spruce content!  I flew it to Oshkosh in 2006 and we won an award called a "Lindy".  I tried to get it on the cover of your catalog but I guess the idea didn't go over too big.

Take care, Kim
