[Konvas] Speedbird

[Brandon Esten]

How cool! I love the sound of a radial engine. Had I my druthers it'd be a
Beech Stagger-wing in my hangar... had I a hangar as well. Sounds like an
adventure going to Hungary every year. I have looked at those ol' Nagra
devices... they look tricky... One wrong move/bump and I bet there is an
abundance of audio tape to keep the B/H film company ^_^ Thank goodness for
DAT.

Keep the cows away from the rudder, and blue skies mate!
