Thanks guys, you make me smile! 8) Some interesting KestreL facts: - 3 went to Europe- 1 went to Australia- 1 went to New Zealand Other destinations included NY, CA, MT, NM... gosh, it was a busy week...

Allrighty... I am getting a lot of orders for ProLine. Enough to where I'm going to have to order more. I'll do this the middle of next week so if you are interested, let me know before then. Also ...

Seems like ground testing is mandatory. So, I take it you had a lengthy set of wires from the alt-bay that let you feed the surgical tubing charge bundle in amongst the folds of your drogue section sh...

Thanks, Ken - will give them a call tomorrow! JW

Just curious if anyone has any excess 5-7 oz satin weave glass they'd part with? I bought some at HobbyTown today, and when I got it out of the bag I instantly knew I'd have problems... the stuff was...

Ken, you are correct, though I'd add one caveat - go a bit heavier on your charges than you might otherwise think on your ground tests, because if you DON'T separate, you might cook your chute 😯 Alte...

OUTSTANDING! I really like the "Cesaroni Power" shot at Did you paint that on or is it a decal from CTI? Nice!
