Dear Neil

Thank you for getting back to me.
Sorry for getting impatient, it isn=E2=80=99t my usual style, I have been co=
ntending with quite a few non replies lately in my professional life rather t=
han a quick note to say =E2=80=9Csorry very busy will get back to you in a w=
eek or two=E2=80=9D, so I bit.
Hope your colleague recovers soon and don=E2=80=99t work yourself into the g=
round!

Happy to resubmit a five star review again if my other ones can be removed.

No problem, I=E2=80=99ll use the horn and keep the fin attached to the pull s=
tring. It is clearly the intended method.
I will order the 6v esc, a new carry bag and request some protective bags.

Once again apologies for getting grumpy.
Regards
SteveT
