Very cool indeed.

Thanks, Steve. Now, getting Carl to explain how to drill those four holes through the NCs without tearing the balsa to shreds is going to be interesting... 
Pass-throughs is another design element I've been trying to work out for some time. The Trident has etched that idea into my brain so deeply... |
