In reply top They should use a BD-5 posted by Tony_still in shock on Sun Nov 18, 2001 09:44:59 PM

My god, that is freaky, the very same idea popped in my head, use a BD, I would slightly extend its length and increase the wing span area and put a parachute recovery system in but yeap, a BD would be on my list as well.

Well I hope you are well Tony, are you out and about? have not seen as many postings from you this weekend :-)
