Issue Number 97



Yes, the Quickie Builders Association is twenty-two years old and still going strong. I want to extend my thanks to you because you make this group possible. The articles and tips that you contribute to the newsletter and your participation in fly-in events is what makes this association strong. I also want to thank those who work behind the scenes in an effort to send safer Q's into the air. I applaud your efforts!

It has been interesting to note the number of members who have identified with various stumbling blocks highlighted in the recent article entitled. "The Wall."
