Scott, The iffiness of motor ejection delays was what lead me to electronic deployment. I found instances where Rocksim says you need 12 sec and AT comes in 10 or 14, both of which lead to 100+mph dep...

I think a bunch of rocket hounds descending on the theater en masse would be an absolute blast. Personally, I could go for watching Doug's movies on Friday night, and then trooping over to Ft Collins ...
