REFLECTOR: Dual Side Stick Controls Option

[Scott Baker]

A Dual Side Stick Control Option will soon be announced by Velocity.
It features a pivoting motion mechanism (wrist action for pitch control 
versus push-pull).
Options will be available for the XL and SE.
Also new - an elegant styled instrument panel; center console; and interior 
trim panel parts to create an all new look to the XL front seat area.
Photos and details to follow soon (prior to SnF).
