				| This was one of those enjoyable puzzles where a lot of clutter is swept away by a couple of x-wings (<2> and <6>).  But then a tough slog on wings which I didn't manage to complete correctly.  The x-wings were good though. |

Thanks for the positive reply. I never realized how difficult it would be to create puzzles for others. I expect one solution path to unfold, and others find a completely different solution path. My difficulty level never seems to match theirs. Amazing ... and frustrating. Oh Well.
