• I received your letter of the 7th and can at last judge your airplane; I think it's too big and too heavy, and copies birds too closely.
• In your experiment, don't get discouraged, and be careful not to get hurt.
• I cannot figure out the mechanism from the photos. There should be, as you say, a drawing in order to understand it, but the essential thing is to know if your invention will give you the two controls of direction and equilibrium. I wish you every success and please keep me informed.
