(...) bliss = happiness A formerly common English phrase was "ignorance is bliss". Currently, "what you don't know won't hurt you" is more common and more-or-less equivalent. Steve (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

You forget that CS has a second chopper. It's of the boring, ho-hum, clone of a 1000 other TLG copters variety, so I'm not sure if it's an asset to CS, or a detriment. ;) Also, (just looking at the browser pictures--I don't have any of these sets) (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

Not a bad user guide. I could do with a lot more "recipe" style instrutions, but overall a very good guide. Now as to the "publisher", there are numerous mispellings and dropped words. Kind of shoddy proofreading. (They even got my URL wrong). (26 years ago, 31-Jan-99, to lugnet.reviews)
