    Sounds like that reactor might run my Shuttle Flight Computer, which arrived today, by the way. Send installation instructions please.

    Sounds like too much work. I'll just add another fusible link to the old Gill. Hope this works-- as it is, the GPS dims when I fire up the Hot tub!

    I was just reading about saving weight by changing a few brass weatherhead fittings to aluminum aircraft fittings, sounds like you might want to consider it.
    It made all the difference when we plumbed in the beer taps!

    No, I've been thinking the hot tub takes up too much space. Plus, I can only stand it for aprox. 30 minutes, but Beer Taps! Usable for the entire flight!
