But, N&W had very highly skilled design engineers, some of whom had talents equal to that available at any of the commercial builders. The performance of the As, Js and Y5/6s are all the proof one needs to prove their design engineers skills! <br />[/quote]In short, If you can design it, build it and run it yourself: Do it
