As I finally get my newreader together(peculiar Alphas!) I thought I'd test on
this note:

I helped construct a parabear assembly using old R/C car parts(emphisis
on the CAR! - Don't use aircraft frequencies!) Not a **lot** of additional 
weight for it's slick operation... A servo simply pulled a pin allowing the
bear to drop, and a static line attached to the bear's chute pack released
the chute after a short free-fall. Total cost of the assembly was under
20 bucks.

If you would like more details, lemmie know! Personally, I liked building
the thing a lot more than operating it. I've had all the "cute" I can stand
for a number of years...

(PS) - Pauline... Sorry for the post if you happen to read this as well! I
         thought you were the originator :)
