[SPAM] Re: 160s and Tower

[Bill Glaze]

Plus, the Moki thrives on FAI fuel; it's hard to get less expensive fuel 
than that, and stay in the alcohol category.  I've got 1-1.80 and 
2-2.10's   I echo what Matt says.  I wonder how much weight you'd save 
if you milled off those stout beam  mounting ears, and just radial 
mounted it? Bill Glaze
