Spent a nice day down there today, finally met a few guys from ARC who I only knew on line. Although there were quite a few models that, in my opinion, would qualify as whiffers, only six were entered in that actual category. Got some pics, so here they are!

Didn't get the details on this one, but it's some kind of Cessna 172 outfitted for spying(?)

And here's the builder, Simon Fraser



He was surprised when I told him about this board. I get the idea that he's been looking for kindred spirits for a while so he'll no doubt post here soon, I gave him the url.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
