That sucks - do you know have a phone or tablet? (hell, even a Kindle has a camera?)

If not you could always just get an old compact - this is the one I take most of my WIP shots with...

A phone? I have a flip phone... and no tablet. BUT I think there is an old camera sort of like the one you posted hiding in the house somewhere. Trouble is, we just moved so who knows where it is

Sweet! I built a 1/72 scale one of those. V-tails.Cool aircraft! I built mine because my brother was planning on buying one when He graduated college and passed the bar for Aviation Law. He died before he could realize those plans.

Somewhere I have a photo I took of the 10,000th V-tail Bonanza. It toured all the dealerships and I was working at one as a salesman at the time. I am pretty sure I have flown every model of the Bonanza that was built through the B-36TC. All fine airplanes, I preferred the A-36 version.

Thanks Stuart. It's been many years now so the pain is diminished somewhat. I built the Cessna 172 that he trained in and solo'd in, as well as the Beechcraft V-tail he wanted.

I appreciate that offer! But I got a new camera today, so it is no longer an issue
