Thank you! I don't have my tail kit yet, but I've read through the first several sections of the plans. Those tips and links from your Wiki version cleared up every "what the heck does that mean" question that I came across, which surely will save me a lot of time and headache when the time comes. Again, thanks!

(I also bought the thumb drive.)
 
Thanks!

Awesome job Pete! Thanks for what you do. I, too, have the flash stick from Van's.
