I've been unable to find what on this site what this missile relates to. I refuse to believe that this info was just randomly placed. It can't be that mostly wooden thing with the real nice rifle scope.

Thanks, John, I didn't realize it was a standalone post. Sorry for responding this way, my outgoing e-mail stopped working since my last reinstall of XP, using both outlook and thunderbird. I'll be some months more before I'll try again due to activation limits. Regards
