MHester - I agree on ALL points, and am approaching this somewhat tentatively now, having looked at the angles, dangles, and decalage. BUT - one doesn't know if not tried - so..... it's "what I do".....

I also must RECANT my statement about the Aeroslave CF Pipe after receiving my Mac's 1092 Clone - it is exactly at 1.75" diameter, which I *believe* is the same as the Aeroslave. The Mac's clone fits just dandy, and leaves a good enough air gap around.

Regarding the handling..... ya'll will know IMMEDIATELY when I test fly this thing...... if it ain't a GREAT snapping/spinning airplane..... BYE BYE!!!! Ain't gonna try to make a pig's ear into a silk purse, by any stretch of the imagination.

But - so far - I sure like the build and assembly quality. It is DAMN good.............
