Chris,

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that you've done a fantastic 
job, not only building an operational tank from scratch in 8 months, but 
also for encouraging others to join you.  I've posted the latest photos 
of your completed tank at:

        http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T030/

for literally the whole world to see.

We all look forward to hearing about the "First Australian R/C Tank 
Battle", and it may even be the "First Southern Hemisphere R/C Tank 
Battle" and possibly even the "First R/C Tank Battle Outside North 
America"!!!  I'm sure the boys in Europe will have something to say 
about that, as they are working hard towards their own first battle 
(hopefully sometime this year as well).

Keep up the good work.  It won't be long before you have someone else to 
shoot at, and then the fun really begins.

        Frank P.
