I am again amazed at how much effort Alfred put into the plans and supplements.

You will not like the answer but I strongly suggest spending the money and getting an Andair unit.

One naturally thinks that we owe the Falco to Stelio Frati, but on more sober reflection, we owe ...

I have been remiss in not thanking you for your post. You do not by any chance in all the tons of documentation you have collected over the years seen a copy of the RAI TC?
