Hi Charlie,

You're right on the money. Percy's name is on the plans. I've been trying to see if my troop would like to upgrade to this design. The one we are using is quite a bit simpler construction, but a little "bulky" in my opinion. I'd like to get these built before we commit to the other design. Then we could make an informed choice. We'll have to see - I'll go with whatever the troop wants to do.
