Lot's of things 'work' on the ground.  How will it work in actual practice? 
Doug K's aircraft is the only Velocity flying with this setup.  My 
impression is that that there are very, very few flight hours - and fewer 
still actual in-flight cycles of the system.  We like the idea and think 
that it has merit.  We will be watching and evaluating how well the system 
works in Dan Smalley's aircraft before we make any decisions regarding a kit 
plans change.

Bad humor, Jim.
