My name is Heman Lee. I met Bill Osborne in 1997 and was amazed in his
efforts to mentor the next generation in this great hobby. This web site
is dedicated to Bill Osborne, who founded
the Bill Osborne Model Airplane Flying Field in Alameda, Bill designed this
model as a trainer for his youth modeling program. He has allowed me to
share this Platter design with all of you on the Internet. I would
appreciate any Platter stories and picture you have. Please Email or send
them to me so I can share them with others on the internet.
Bill passes away in 2003 and I hope to honor his legacy with this web page.
