chanti 0 #2 February 12, 2007 I second that Had my first tunnel trip last week (yes, we have to go to another country to get to a wind tunnel!) I'm completely addicted. With the sucky exchange rate of R15 to the pound, I might have to start robbing banks in order to sustain my habit -Chanti- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brettski74 0 #12 February 13, 2007 QuoteIs there a patch for this??? (Not that I would want it; I'm just wondering! [Wink]) I don't know. I think a patch that allowed to to fly your body in various attitudes without a requirement for a tunnel or aircraft would be extremely cool. I'll get started on it right away.
