[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

[Toby Pennington]

Before the purchase of TT by RF concepts,   they were working on a 
double Eagle rig.   Two Eagle receivers with a better user interface.  
This was to be out by the end of this year,    plus a more complex rig 
out in early 2015 to end of 2016.  But now with a new owner,   who knows 
what is really going on.

I called the first rig a "Double Eagle" which gave it a familiar 
ring-----no pun intended!
