aero is for people who can't build engines. :) actually, I still need to do a diffuser - but next major mod will be a larger motor.

that is awesome!

more sanding and more

time to get ready to paint it's been kind of a long week - then I spent time teaching noobs how to color sand.... I'm exhausted now.

while the hood is off, time to fix a belt alignment issue the lesson in all of this is chinese parts are terrible the biggest issue was the distance across the pump was wrong - so it pinched and misaligned pretty much everything....ah well, a few washers and it's back in business
