Silversurfer
This is an out of topic question, but now that you mentioned that you know Bill Hempel and if Im not mistaken you fly UAV for the military, I want to know if you were one of his students. Im in the NAVY and about a year out to tranfer to a new command so I was wondering if you could give me the name of the "school" and any additional info so that way I can apply for it? And of course Im only assuming here

Shawn,
I never saw the plugs or the final design, but it was really coincidental that one company that wasn't even talking about a big 260 suddenly came out with one shortly after Tom premiered his design. I had been spending some time with Bill Hemple in July last year and talking about it with him, and he was thinking that a release at the end of last year or the beginning of this one was right in line. The final design had not been fully completed at that time.
I would be very interested in seeing the two designs side by side. 40 to 42 % is not much different, and if all the angles were in the right places you'r know for sure.
