I own a 350N kit now and want to know if I need to make the investment in the 800N stuff. ...just not sure if its required or not. Thanks for any insight! __________________ I'm a lumberjack and I'm O.K. I sleep all night and I work all day.

I think the cost factor is the prime reason FIE gear is NOT required at a US comp!

I'm starting by adding one FIE item every national comp. __________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird.
