When talking about the drop test for the DX you said that since the DX is heavier that it would fall faster. How fast something falls has nothing to do with it's mass. Only thing is wind resistance. Remember the experiment they did on the moon, dropping a feather and a hammer, with no wind resistance, they both fell at the same rate. Now the DX will have more momentum, and thus could cause more damage at the end of the fall.... Len – you said something in TKC 48 that we can’t let slide.
