You ! Hey !
Between work and the B-17 visit , my dad is pretty overwhelmed right now . So he told me to start writing up a series of articles about my latest air-craft experiments . It ’ s going to take a month or two to get it all out in these newsletters . First , what I have in mind is kind of complicated for a young dog to think through . Second , I ’ ll need some time to build the devices I need to test my theories . Not to mention the testing program . And finally , I ’ ve been a little under the weather recently . About a week ago , we got in the car , and I was certain I heard dad and mom talking about taking me to get “ tutored .” I figured that had something to do with helping me bone up a bit on my 3D modeling skills . But the next thing I know , I ’ m waking up all groggy , with some serious pain in some unmentionable areas . Not sure what kind of “ tutoring ” I got , but I sure don ’ t feel any smarter .
Anyway , here ’ s what I ’ ve been up to . I ’ ve been reading back issues of Sport Aviation , and there ’ s a lot of talk in some of them about a prize for figuring out how to prevent loss of control accidents . Now , I know a thing or two about loss of control . And accidents . In fact , I got in some pretty big trouble last month over losing control on the silk rug in the dining room . Not pretty .
