If circumstances change and my health stays good, I will get back into it. There were several comments when I first got on the list about the difficulty soldering the DB connectors. Having been in electronics for over 40 years, I felt that that was an area I could contribute to the rotary movement to help pay back the tremendous benefit I've received from the group. I would never have gotten the engine flying without all the work that's gone ahead and the sharing of knowledge from you pioneers. Right now it look to me like the rotary is reaching a turning point with a lot of new projects flying or about to. Pretty soon they may be pretty common. :) Bob W.
