Since the single NR-30 cannon was deleted, the actual maximum practical fuel capacity was still 2,350 liters (620 US gallons)." c) Digital: It is a slightly upgraded version that might still fly in 2000. I do the MiGs for my IST Earth, and the TL7 versions serve mainly as a starting point for TL8 upgrades, d) Radar range is a pure guess, and includes a typo: Scan is 17. e) Thanks for your help. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
