Designer's Notes

I wanted to see how the obviously-arbitrary Book 2 air/raft compared to one designed using the Striker design sequence.

Interesting, isn't it, how trendi can undercut the original CR600,000 price tag and still make a profit? Oh, that's right - we don't include the sound system. ;-)
