I must disagree with you on that first statement. I believe the 'intent' was to say, "look at how accurate we got the shape". Nothing wrong with that, ERA deserves it...but, I noticed that other pics were taken from dissimilar angles and that makes some of them look downright unflattering - the Kirkham in particular (I take offense to that one ). I mean, how can you argue with the Kirkham shape? But from a low slung pic of an ERA - compared to a 'tall' pic of a Kirkham, one might ass-ume the ERA is more (fill in blank).

The good folks at ERA have proven themselves to be talented, business friendly craftsmen. It's just that the comparo is, shall we say, snake oil? Leading the witness, as you say?

As far as the wait time, I'm not sure what your point was. Maybe you were commenting on another post?
