Lindsey Smith

I HAVE AT LAST decided to write an open letter addressed to my fellow modelers. It takes a while for me to get sufficiently worked up to compose a letter expressing my thoughts. I am one that has been actively involved in flying for over thirty years, fifteen in Scale. I also hold a VFR pilot license. Generally (although here in the Northeast, good flying weather is restricted to six months), like many active Scale modelers, I try to attend a fair share of Scale events. These events range from club sanctioned Scale meets, Scale qualifiers, and IMAA [International Miniature Aircraft Association] fly-ins. Like many, I enjoy displaying and flying airplanes as well as meeting the public and talking about our sport.
