Hey, Russo... should we be putting ideas like that in Elie's head? LOL
he might have to put the depth meter on the fuse of the Yak instead of
the other plane he was talking about....

He told me once it has to do with something about compensating for something?

Sleepy, nothing wrong with compensating but as I get older, I need to compensate more and more and more, where does it end?

Tony, don't know why but my planes are always attracted to water, I wouldn't be surprised if my Yak gets a little wet at the Nall.
