Steering vane, yes.... aileron, rudder, whatever you want to call it.

Haven't seen it in whole as yet, might be watching it tonight with the
"Finding Nemo", "Toy Story", "Ratatouille" and "Ice Age" nut ;-)

I'm *sure* she'll like it :-)

Not having been up close and personal with any Dragons of late (ex-
girlfriends aside!!) I'm not too sure on what their behaviour is in general.

And being a dog only person...... cat personalities aren't a speciality of
mine either. Even though the psycho ones seem to like me.......

The one and only picture of me with a cat.... circa 1993, Los Angeles, in the
Venice Beach apartment of my then Theoretical Physicist wife.... her
words..... "You are the only one in the world who has ever been able to hold
Clarissa for more than 5 seconds. For some reason she liked you."

I called the cat Psycho, it used to attack everyone :-)
