What a total shock to a me a profound loss to all in this group..............Even
though Bob and I had not met in person like all of our little group I considered
him my friend............Enjoyed all Bob's contributions to the forum and shared
many private E mails in the process of buying his excellent cable products.....
Both he and his input to the group will be sorely missed.........His last project
the 13B powered "Sunbeam Alpine" even has a flywheel that I donated for his
project............."Blue Skys and Tailwinds Bob"..............
