They should have just designed and Built their own, this instead of "Borrowing" the Apache, irregardless of it being “featherless” or a Ben Kramer /Don Arronow special edition.

I really like it. Big props to Checkmate for expanding their horizons. Sad there's such sour grapes but I'm sure the ones crying are not and would never be your customer anyway.

Congrats!

Judging by the speed & handling they know what they are doing with twin steps, that's huge when comparing the two. Apples to apples & all that jazz.

That's when you know it's right!! In those conditions. Look at this battleship stuck to the water even in rough conditions where it should free up and run clean. What a lead sled!! That's twin stepp technology? No thanks!
