Oh, get off it, Judy - you're a closet engineer and you know it!

Well, you may have left the rigging alone, but I get the impression that
you've replaced or added many other components on Redwing. Not knocking
you, but don't tell us that you "don't analyse the loads"; we know better.

And I seem to recall you having a new *rig* named for you on the Force 5.
The Potter rig may be the only thing you do leave alone. ;)
