Mathew, anyone who bets their life on a technical 
life support device as vital as a wing or bc bladder 
with no less than four built-in potential failure 
points is clearly incapable of making sound equipment 
decisions for themselves, much less of advising others.

But since you've stood up in this forum, you can do us
all a service by telling us the name of your technical 
instructor.

Thanks        billyw
