Construction's just about done, even the newly arrived capsule (love them Apogees). I'm going modular for relative ease in paint/masking, so still plenty of work left, and with the humidity in Ohio it might be weeks before I can paint...

1) I know these aren't supposed to be flight-worthy to save time, but would you have any heartburn if I at least included Kevlar for a recovery system? Just in case someone wants to eventually fly it?

2) You mentioned only the top 1-2 might be returned.What in the world will happen to the rest? If we offer to pony up the shipping costs, would you be willing to ship any of them back to us? I don't mind at all if some lucky recipient winds up with mine, but I'd hate for it to wind up gathering dust in some storage closet somewhere. Heck, I'd even wind up flying mine. Better yet, I'll trade ya this one for the older worn-out display model I built for you a few years ago. I heard someone even messed up the finish on that with a Sharpie at NARAM .
