- You know, I'm really interested in this idea for my big stunt ships. If it
- works well (and I can't see why it should not), it would be great. You
- could relocate the NV to a safe (and convenient) location and not have to
- hack holes in the side of the cowl for it.
-
- I'm going to order one soon and try it. I'll let you know how it works.
- Who knows, it might become a hot trick for CLPA ships.

- P.S. Iskandar, I received the control lines OK and sent you a letter with
- payment for the same out last week. You should get it soon.
-
- Thanks again.
