Bill,

You may want to re-think lending your plane to Dan. He generally flies everyones else's plane better than his own.


Dan,
I got your message. Thanks. I'll call you this weekend.

LOL.. Nice!

The ba*star* got three flights on my 300 last summer and was extremely competitive about halfway through the 2nd flight.

He was definately feeling the difference.

Mike,

1.6oz. Bear in mind however that these are prototypes, and that figure can change. Kurt and Mike should be releasing some detailed specs here real soon.
