I'm reading my email backwards but now I see you beat Tony to the punch plugging his own book. I often don't know what I have and I thought hmm, maybe I already have it. But I guess not - I have

I thought I had one of these but I can't find it. But undec kits are in stock at IM. I also have some of the USRA composites but they lack the appeal of the others - their profile is too similar to
