Hey, would you look at this!

I will be sending them an email, or a call as soon as I have done some initial testing. I need to find out what the requirements are for the model -- they have two PDF's on their web site that have a fair bit of information, mostly about airplane models. They do cars and bicyclists and probably any sort of project that can fit in their tunnel.

The leaf blower I have is capable of very high velocities, by the way -- like 200+mph, they claim. This is a great suggestion (by someone here on EM), and I plan on trying some tuft testing soon -- I also picked up a HD pocket video recorder last Friday for $100... amazing.
