Again much love for the advice..... :thumb: I'll take a look at the last few posters advice on all fronts, including the DVD, not buying new, etc. I finally took a look at the winds on several different sites and was surprised how low they were and were on average. I just feel the winds are larger t...

10-4 guys thanks i'll be back here when I get into it. looking forward to it
