    the picture of leaning on the fence is the cover.

    this is more like a book of one line quotes than a story you can read cover to cover. It will be classified as fiction because most of it is made up

    Will there be a table to record how far off idle the launch was at? Or will it be prepopulated with "just off idle"?

    Oh...we also need a column to record if the two steps was used. It can already be filled in with "no".

    This is where you get hung up on technicalities, ask him if he has a two step the answer is yes ... Unfortunately it being on the shelf for 3 years does nothing for launching. its been around so long, it uses tubes for the electronics.
