    Fame, I Guess

    Found this advertisement this weekend. It's for a quarter-scale ready-to-fly radio-controlled Fly Baby. Painted like *my* airplane! That's even a shot of me flying it in the lower left.

    That is really cool! A real compliment to your work. Nicely done...

    Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a grease pencil & cut it with an axe.

    Ron,

    If you determine that the company has not been authorized to use your likeness for purposes of advertising, promotion and marketing, seems to me that at the very least, you might be able to settle for a free RTF kit.

    I like the way Floats thinks!

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Congrats, Ron (but still press for that free kit!).

    Dunno, Floats. I'm more used to paying people to NOT publish my likeness. :-)

    Still think you should bone up on your Czech language skills.

    Ron,

    This is the kind of fame that you can enjoy. When we see you in the National Enquirer or one of the other supermarket checkout "publications", then we'll know you are in real trouble.

    Best of luck,

    I'd definitely hit them up for a free model of the plane - and then either hang it from the hangar or put it on and end table in the living room.
