[simpits-tech] Aimsworth Glare Shield

[Jurgen]

Marv / Chris,

A comment from our side: Yes there are small differences and if someone is
as dedicated to replicate the 100% thing as Marv is, one could say its not
right, but the great thing on thing on this hobby is that we all have
different angles on it.  Take the Cougar for example: Who will have the
ability (or money for that matter) to convert his Cougar to a pressure
sensitive stick?  I see it on our new panels, they are 100% dead right, but
do not fit because of the base on the Cougar and this is even with the
Cougar mod.  Compromising is the key word....
