When I tell people I'm building a plane, many people ask what I'm going to name it.  Hadn't really given it much thought until this week when the perfect name came to me.

"Sadie" - For the grandmother I never knew, who my mother says was an amazing person and gentle soul.  My mother was only in her 20's when she lost her to cancer and she speaks about her to this day, nearly 60 years after she passed.

Here's Sadie and Adolph Braun (who I did know) back in the 1920's.

She doesn't know any of this yet, but I'm going to give my mom this framed photo of the paint scheme in which I added in her mother's name.  I think she'll like it. ;-)
