    Thank You John:
    The old picture you found shurley helped you a lot.
    The same thing happened to me when I was building my Sub Chaser.
    I found a bunch of realy good old pictures considering that they where from 1914.
    Those pictures helped me create a bunch of extra detailed parts.
    Here is a sample.

    Everything indicates that YES there is some kind of lockdown with China internet just like Doug mentioned.
    I still donโ€™t understand how China can do that since there is so many ways that people from any part of the world can communicate with just about anybody else.

    Also I have been having droughts about what radio to use since there is so much rules and regulation about what frequency to use here in USA.
    I have a Flysky FS-i6 but since Iโ€™m a newbie, I donโ€™t know if I could use it.
    Here are the specs.
    What radio are you using?

    Hi Chuck.
    Iโ€™m almost finished with the painting of the model and parts but run into a dilema.
    My model brought 6 inverted vent pipes with caps but according to your designs, itโ€™s supposed to be just 1 (one) ventilator w/cap and 2 (two) without cap on port and the same goes for the starboard.
    My kit is missing the 4 (four) inverted ventilators without cap.
    I also found this picture of another Juanita and has what my kit is missing.
    Correct me if I am wrong, please.

    Hager:
    When I went through your work done and I saw your gyrocopter, I got shills running up my spine.
    Iโ€™m 69 now but when I was 32 I almost bought one myself, but instead, I used the money to get myself my pilot license.
    After flying for a few years I went ahead and got my skydiving license.
    So, your gyrocopter brought back lost of memories.
    Thank You for posting those pictures.
