Appreciate you looking out for me. However in this case, I was asking for sake of my Titan Tornado II-S with 912s. Really want to come see you and your P3 rocket ship!

The airplane is flying very good. I just installed the Earth X battery that has been sitting on the bench since last Dec. What a strong start. Keep in touch. You never know when I can sneak away on a Saturday.
