[Rhodes22-list] Stan .... got mast stubs? how much? Winter Quaters

[Mike Cheung]

Yeah, much as the R22 is a very versatile craft, I don't think she's ready to
take on an M20K if flying's involved.

I may do a PVC mock up for fun.  We'll see.  Stan's price for the mast stub
makes doing too much engineering on this not cost effective.
