Nick,

My advice is " DONT DO IT " stay alive and well. I agree with the
others. Find a nice Phantom, Mini-Max, Quick, Buckeye or something else
other then a chopper. They call them " Chopper " for a reason..

Bad, Bad idea.. Sorry for all the bubble busting, but really think about it
before you do it..
