Thanks for the heads up Ray.

FYI I received a test shot of the flight deck today... no deck planks on this version. So that should show it's not "ready" ready, but closer....

I will honestly be surprised if it is the end of October, especially with shipping, etc.

Hopefully not much later than that; I'd lve it to be out in time for the holidays!
