Board notes — revision D

Q3 — the 24-second build must finish before the first line. If wind SFX runs short, take the fade manually on the wheel.
Q8 — chase 2 is speed-locked to the storm track; do not free-run it.
Q13 — designer will not accept front wash above 25. Check before every show.
Q16/2 — part cue: the table practical holds three full seconds alone. Count it, don't watch it.
Gel stock — two spare frames of R21 and L201 live in the SR perch bin. Log any swap here.
