But it can require people to set up the mesh before it works. Not my
preference, really.

We have some strange pilots here as well. I really get miffed about the
dare-devils that come at our house with a full load and hanging on the
prop. Just to save 15sec or so. One minor cough in the engine and it'll
be a fireball. They do the same over the eastern hill and that has cost
one of them and his wife their lives. That's not the only fatal we've
had :-(
