I'm less impressed by the base plates. Their only half effective.

The Tailwind project reminds me of Redneck's Metro.
*yeah,the base plates held out the promise of easy manufacturing and a minimum of material,but in a crosswind (as we're likely to have most of the time) their performance falls off.
*Redneck's Metro tail is delicious! Morelli would love it.
