Welcome to the WanderlodgeForum!

Since you have already indicated your masochistic tendencies by owning
boats and are versed in their operating systems, you are definitely
ready for a vintage Bird! 8^)

You are correct that the FC are pullers and the PT are pushers. The
best place to get a good overview of the models is in the history
section at http://www.vintagebirds.com which is run by one of the other
moderators of this group.

Given your history, we look forward to your active participation on
systems questions. Where are you located?
