Text of an April 22, 2003 e-mail to me.

Fred,

Just wanted to let you know that one of the teachers came in with

a little good news. He Very stable in took some students to a Fun Fest to demo some of there class projects, one of which was the Butterflies that they had built, and during the flight demonstrations of the students had a terrific flight. He said that they stopped timing after eight minutes!  Showed him the built up Hawk so now I need to order him 12 Hawk kits. Please send when you can.

 

Thank you,
