let the rampant speculation take hold whilst those that know the real story stay quiet!

Maybe it's not for taking on the Solo, maybe it's a "big Pico" (or big Q'ba, as this is RS) that Nessa was calling for the other day?

You'll spoil it for us if you don't spill, we'll makes something up.

One question, what are they made of, I do so hope they don't think they'll take the Solo on with tupperware..

Time for a new thread?

"spoil it"? It's clear a lot of us on here haven't the foggiest what's being discussed, so if you're not bound by any sort of legal secrecy agreement why not just "spill"?

Dan,
No evidence of that is there Dan.  See the 300.  Still properly supported despite sals dipping almost nowhere for a while (back up now though).

At the end of the day I am just saying they are a business and a fairly successful one at that who won't chuck money at something once it's repaid the investment and the cash flow doesn't warrant it.

That is no different to many suppliers.

Try buying a Laser 5000 mast or a Boss jib ... things come and go ... some faster than others ...

The Laser is probably past its peak in popularity but is still the biggest global class ...
