I know from experience that airplanes fly because of money. Lots of it.

<div>Actually the effect you are seeing is the Bernoulli
effect. The air outside is moving faster than the air
inside, which lowers the pressure outside causing the
screens to move out. It?s the same thing that allows
airplanes to fly and sailboats to sail into the wind.
The 100 doesn?t have a channel to hold the front of the
screen so I made a couple tabs of strap ally and mounted
them under the top hold down screws. Worked fine until
