 Thanks Jim- I get the jist, and it is what I expected I guess. I drove 100m
today with my adjustments and have to do the same tomorrow, but I'll give it
the due attention this weekend- after all if it should fail, at 80mph (we
were late for work and in a bit of a hurry) - - that doesn't bear thinking
about. Still think they could have (should have) come up with something
better though.

Today we cruised down a disused runway at about 60- I let out my flaps
(heater levers) and I swear we almost got airborn. Parked up outside the
hangers just seemed right- I think she felt at home.
