Perhaps, the problem here is the way you presented your self to us, Surly you can see why some of us are apprehensive to things such as your venture, if you have an arrangement with Jeanette, you should have been up front with it. As vast as the internet is and originating in another country,skepticism should be expected. If you are only seeking information about a possible business venture that has the blessing of R/R Inc., Then there are many people more qualified to give it then I. I too am interested why you choose to built out side the United States. I am also a former Marine, But I fail to see why it should be an issue. As far as your parameters for your finished product, my personal opinion is that it is over built and too heavy in your configuration.
