I'm thinking the same thing on the dimensions, although adapting from 21 to 24 or 27 to 29 ain't that big a deal.

That said, I'm under the impression, if they want to improve the reliability of the high thrust motors, that some re-engineering needs to be done. Nobody wants to buy may-pops. Maybe fiberglass motor cases are needed.

As for the machines, I saw the pics on Facebook. They look pretty rough. I'm thinking they won't be much more help than a good set of plans for a new machine.
