Expound on that a bit, Greg. You made no sense.

I can rotate in my computer chair from looking at the computer to watching the races on my tV from home.
With a Heiney in hand, it's much cheaper!

My chair is getting worn out! But, isn't that what it's for?

In the words of Hank Hill, "That boy ain't right".

Sorry BillDe but, since I can't play 10-S in my retirement, because of not being able to rotate at my knees,
what's a guy to do??

I can and do go to the courts & harass all my fellow 10-S nuts for not making the right shot!

They do remember that I won a few 4.0/4.5 Tourneys.

OK, I understand now (well, sort of). Those air race pilots are crazy. Have you seen one trim off a pylon yet?

I've seen a few hit a pylon but, not trim one off.
They may be hard to shear off 'cause they're just filled with moving air,
I think powered by fans from down below & open at the top?
Have you?

Oh, yes. Many times.
