The Beginning of a Dream

• I began with a set of plans in summer 2004. My
  father John Willis Sr. retired offered to build
  the plane. I would fiberglass it then paint it.
  Make a fiberglass Cowl Wheel Pants, install
  radio electronics, engine, fuel tanks and
  program it, and finally
• FLY IT!

Words I need to say

• Dad you just blew my mind when you made the
  offer to build this model for me!
• I could not say yes fast enough. But what I
  really need to say to you is very important to me
  and this project. You did a fantastic job I do
  not know how to say it other than this
• Thank You
