    That's awesome! It is the cutest little plane but is actually well built I'd agree. I've been using it while doing trim in my basement to help with tighter fit up and it's perfect for that.

    What about the people in the cars behind you that don't make the light because of your delay? Do the math on the extra light cycles that takes to get through.
