[simpits-tech] Slightly OT - Piper Cub

[David C. Allen]

Hi Brian
I worked on the development of the "thunder mustang" which was being 
developed by the owner of the "KitFox" kit plane manufacturing company 
Denney Aircraft. He spent more money on lawyers and trying to protect the 
company, and his family from the "next of Kin".

Good luck, and just make sure you protect your family from the next of kin.
