[SEL] Bringing home the Famous

[Richard Strobel]

  Thanks for the reply, Dave!!  With those huge flywheels, I'll bet it 
develops a lot of kinetic energy.  This one is igniter fired and he needs 
one flyweight.  Other than that and a gas tank it looks like it's pretty 
complete.

  Next time you see your friend would you ask him if he would mind 
corresponding with Cork?

Well thanks again!
