Re: 420 Rigging
The retrospecrive XD kicker and deck cleat and block unit are all rigorously specified, and therefore can be controlled and presumably licenced. There are 2 manufacturers, Holt Allen & an other (who i cant remember) with the kicker being of slightly different design to each other. However, both...

PY Numbers
May have been asked before, but searching the forum has not revealed much, so......... Merlins have an age related PY Number, are they the only ones?
