I would like to do it for my aircraft...if I keep it...but being in Australia I would prefer to do it "in house" rather than send to the USA for mods, I would also prefer to use details of an existing setup though rather than reinvent the wheel. I sent a request to Guantlet Warbirds but recieved zero response, not even an acknowledgement, so I wouldn't know if they even got my request for assistance. Does anyone know of who else might be doing the mods and if the details could be obtained for use down under? I gather there was an issue with the Viper L-29's at Reno, last year? Was that sorted out and/or what was the outcome?
