I really like how you and Jetter think that the people of France are their own separate race. Now, while what I said might have been perceived as insensitive, it was really meant as a joke.
I remember having a model of one of these I built when I was 11 or so, and it was my favourite model I'd build as a kid, too. Now that I'm able to "actually" fly one is a pretty cool feeling. As for the actual craft itself, it's a beauty.
