Thanks Curt! I kept having this feeling that the VASI were not working the way they should but had not gotten around to trying to put that into some coherent form :-(. If you are going to work on this whenever you get a chance, perhaps there is something in the implementation that would allow it to be used to build a "ball" for carrier operations? Some time working on the basement will give you time to think about it and keep the wife happy :-). Just a thought :).
