this was started a long time ago. my Dad was a model builder before he started building real aircraft. all i knew was Dad worked at North American Aviation in California. this and my love of aircraft started this and my model building. I found Roy Pence in the early 1990 era and he told me about working with my Dad and building the first XP-51's they worked on the hydraulics for those 2 planes and created my love for them and wanting to create models of the prototypes.
