Color me newly intrigued on the upside-down LSM launch; could prove a snappy launch piece, depending on how those three launch tracks get sequenced.

Let's see, of those listed, I've been on: Goliath Steel Curtain VC Iron Gwazi Pantheon ArieForce One Wildcat's Revenge SV (though to be honest, that is a quasi-stall, feels more like a step-down inversion with virtually no negative g) I prefer zero-g stalls that are simple and stated on their...
