All of those numbers don\u2019t add up to the true number of stories that were donated.\u00a0 Stories of individuals and friendships; of competitions and fun-flys; of that one perfect flight, and that one rather spectacular crash; of late nights trying to find tiny parts, and of the satisfaction of finishing a project.\u00a0 Modeler\u2019s stories.\u00a0 Your story.<\/p>\n

The museum tells your story.\u00a0 Thank you for letting us do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n
