Re: That game of darts...
Hi Rocket
A brief summary of the RAF 2000 - a type with some considerable history.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_2000
As ever Wikipedia may not be definitive but it gives some insight.

Congrats - Gyro #800
Well done to team Magni - in early October they rolled out gyro #800 - a new M24 Orion ( looks a bronze colour ? )
Ship #700 was rolled out in July 2012 - so that's 100 new builds in 16 months - around 6 new build machines per month ( mix of M16, M22 and M24 )
A good achievement.

Bear in mind the FAI website currently shows the l...
