Don, Why don't you take my custom-carved B17 out for a spin? Cutting out the middle makes a huge difference, there's no material there to create a hump. In any case, I'll have it out of service for now ( I'll be trying something quite different on my Rawland, an SMP Hybrid is due to arrive on Thursday) so it won't be a problem for me. For that matter, I have an Imperial available, too. It's not like I'm far away!
