As a side note the STP file is over 260Meg (an growing),and the PowerHead assembly file is 2.3Meg in size. Talk about big files.

    Richard Caldwell Thank you. Flight is a long way off. This is just one part of the over all engine. The gas turbine and CVT (which I up loaded) are also parts of the main engine. Meaning I still have a lot of work to do before flight will take place.
