I need to start drinking coffee! I read Billy's post and wondered
about aluminum flywheels, then I read Larry's post and couldn't figure
out why someone in Oshkosh b'gosh cared whether it was available in
Alabama ;-) I'm gonna go back to bed till Spring!

How can a round flywheel lower reciprocating mass???
