<div><FONT FACE=3D"Arial" SIZE=3D2>That's very interesting,=
Marv. I'm 5'7", well within norms, but I've been=
worried slightly about just how cozy that fixed stick is going=
to be. I plan to check it out within the week, as I am=
finally THERE - ready to do a final fit and glue up of the=
Aimsworth parts. (Aside: - I know how to modifiy the=
original Aimsworth cockpit, and if anyone wants to know,=
ask. It was not nearly as accurate as one would want, and=
hopefully this has been rectified in their new pit.=

SIZE=3D2>By the way, Marv, have you ever had the fun of=
manhandling a real Viper FLCS? I was wondering about the=
pivot point on your wonderstick mod. For practical reasons=
(the unknown real strength of the Thrusty Cougar stick core) I'm=
moving my gimbal to the bottom of the base. I'd like a=
little more play, too. Might not be 100% Viper, but=
there's always a fudge factor. ;-)</FONT><br></div>
