Corwin, Very glad you've shared, it's always a joy to hear about Charlie, and as someone who is currently piecing together a Hubbuhubbuh I can't help but hope for some visuals of the aforementioned Hubbuh's to accompany the stories.
I'd love to see photos of both rigs next time the opportunity presents itself, not a lot of info on them out there so it would be nice to have some documentation of the two.
