    A blimp always comes in handy when we expect it least.

    By the way - my step grandson of 7 years now shows an interest in design, too. It's a little early to give him rhino, but with MS paint he came up with one promising design. How he came up with the idea to make a yacht... is a miracle, heh heh

    I
    Will give it a C. Not the best, not the worst. I'd build that.

    I would like to buy study plans from your grandson. Does he offer technical support too?

    Looks like some I've seen. He could go far.

    If he has no budget, no knowledge of mechanicals and wants to circumnavigate it because his home country is not feeling safe.... he could start a half dozen threads here...

    Thanks, guys, I showed him your comments - it made his day :) ... Reminds me of three or so decades ago when a neighbour boy joined me in my woodworking hobby workshop and I let him try a few things. He's now a master carpenter with his own business.
    And also - It's good to see some humour added to our otherwise a little ''dry'' profession (pun intended).

    He should join the forum. You can show him how to add pictures to his gallery.
