[BProckets] Growing Pains . . .

[Dan Durachko]

So how do you deserve the name "Mr. Gizmo" if you don't have a more
sophisticated mechanism for motor testing than a carpet tube roll?  ;^)

Smoke and flames . . . ahhh - that's what it's really all about, isn't
it?

Nozzle side up?  Ah . . . that's no fun!!!  :-O

******************************

For testing mine I use a tube from a roll of carpet, they are very thick
and
will survive many motor tests. Its also pretty cool to see the flames
and
smoke comming out of it, just make sure, nozzle side up.
