<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">I was thinking the same thing on the drive shaft Forest.There has to be a good reason for the rubber adapter. It could be there for engine protection in case of a crash or to be able to adapt the different engines they used (or planned on using).

IT could also be there to help with any slap knot at low RPM to help reduce that vibration problem or keep that low RPM SK from affecting the engine bearings. In any case we are going to find out. I do have an e-mail out to Don Muddiman and Dave Nalley to see if they can get me an e-mail address to one of the Original Byron guys that built a boat load of these things. That will certainly answer a lot of questions. I know they had some modifications that were not for public knowledge.

I might have to contact my old army buddy. He is currently working for the FBI in Washington DC. This is a very important highly classifiedmission we are on, I mean, they wouldn't consider his investigation into finding the Byron engineers a miss appropriation of fundsor manpower. Right? This is important stuff. They do work for us , tax dollars and all. I don't find this request to be a huge commitment in assets or resources to find these guys. Uh, I think I just heard a knock at the door. Umm,I have to go now. I might be a little late making mynext post.</span></div>
