| Now have a list of Monster Models, most of which exceed 9' wingspan (6' for Biplanes). Please let me know if you spot errors, have photos or can add to the list. | |
| Added more Fibreglass moulding photos and guidelines. | |
| Some new Stearman photos. The plane is almost ready to fly; perhaps in a few weeks... | |
| Added another translation option. The home language of 25% of my visitors is not English. | |

| New version ('g') of Bubbles which has a more detailed wing cross-section, top view of the rear end of the fuz and an "Accuracy Measure" line for you to check the printed size.

| Corrected minor HTML syntax errors on most pages to prevent problems on different browsers. | |
| My tracker has revealed that I get quite a few visitors from non-English speaking countries (30%). So I have added a link on the Home page to a translation engine which can dynamically translate the site to 24 languages. | |
| Some new links, minor additions to Weights spreadsheet and reduced Home page photo file sizes. | |
| Refreshed every page to standardise links at foot of page. Also added Actro motor photo and performance info to Stearman page. | |
| Added site tracking so that I can improve site (counter on 2535) . Submitted URL to search engines. | |
| The Excel spreadsheet I used to design Bubbles is now available. Almost every component listed to know where the weight will be before starting. | |
| I wonder if I should finish this Stearman? I've got the motor for it now. Almost a pound lighter than the setup in the Fly Baby, probably more than 10% more efficient due to it being brushless and no gearbox drag. | |
