Re: What CCR and Why?

It appeared to me that looking at an apples to apples configuration electronics wise that the revo was considerably less expensive than the meg. Am I mistaken? a COPIS meg is not that different in price from the revo, at least at the prices listed on the revo websites. COPIS megs start around 6500 ...

I would postulate that the only way to develop this wide angle perspective is through a certain amount of time in the water gradually increasing the problem's sophistication. The "attention pizza" that is taught in basic motorcycle riding :) I'm not so fond of a known "playlist"...

Re: side mount rigging

Sounds like you have every possible problem that you could ever conceivably have while on CCR figured out. Except how you're going to sidemount. Btw, we all use the same dil blends. sorry if i came across as if i "know it all", as that is far from the case. i was voicing my thoughts/under...
