Hello Marv,

Oh - every single piece that will make it is a win for us :))

> DED
> Fuel Flow Counter
> Mil Style Switch Handles for Toggle switches
> RWR
> Threat Warning Panel Prime
> 8 by 4 Caution Panel (functional, of course)
> HUD (Plexiglass and Side Panels
> Gear Handle

Phew :PP
That list is already amazing!!! Looks like I got a good chance to get my pit
completed one day :)

Cup Holder sounds like a must-have :))

What do you mean by Canopy rails? Is that the frame for the canopy... or
well, I assume it is the counter-part that is mounted to the fuselage, where
the canopy lies on, once closed! Right??? That would be extremely cool to
have!

That sounds like a good trade-off!

This makes me look forward for Monday already :)))

Cheers & have a nice weekendm, ALL
