[SMCARA] FT 817 Final Mod

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

I'll bet his battery doesn't last long at 2KW!!  When I saw him at
Dayton he had it "throttled back" to ONLY 750 watts!  Amazing and
amusing!

Get it right... it's not 750 watts...its 2,089 watts...Alpha power
certified!  (He runs the backpack at 500 due to the antenna that at he
says it kinda hurts at 2kw.)
