I'm in agreement with Doug, Ron, David, Art, Gordon, JB, and Tom so I don't have a whole lot to add here. (I wasn't at Florida Jets so I don't know what went on there.)

As far as the diamond shaped airfoil is concerned---Why did you even mention it??? It may very well be a little less inefficient....But it works. Most of us would call that sort of criticism "Nit Picking". Same with the comment on the shipping error--Did the whole jet community need to know this??? Even with the comment about the "most uncharcteristic delay" all you did was turn it into a left handed complement.

If you are concerned with the ball links on the Sabre's elevator then go to the type that the R/C car guys use. These are black in color. (Not the clear ones) Believe me--You won't be able to just unsnap these!!! Another thing---If I ever have to take a ball link connector loose, I always replace it with a new one.

Years ago, when I was the jet columnist for "R/C Report Magazine", I got my ***** in a crack with BV. I ran a comparison between two of the new quiet tuned pipes when they first came out. One was a BVM pipe and the other was a first generation Jet Model Products (JMP) pipe. I ran each and recorded my DB readings. The JMP pipe was quieter and I reported this in my column. Simple as that! That issue had barely came off of the press and I received a phone call from a very aggitated BV. BV claimed my tests were flawed. Ya know what----He was 110% correct!!! I did not take into account that BV's larger pipe volume was less restrictive than the JMP pipe. The JMP (First generation) pipe WAS quieter due in part to a reduction in RPM. I printed an appology and corrected information in the next issue. I don't know how many pipes I cost him and was down on myself for the mistakes I made in my testing. As "independent" reporters we have a responsibility to be as honest and correct as we possibly can be-----And if we're wrong, admit it......
