I forgot about the fact that most of the big round engines are pushing fifty 
years old or so. A guy about ten miles west of me here has a corn-cob engine 
mounted on a stand with full cowlings. He said he got it about 40 years ago 
as surplus from Eddie's Place (Edwards AFB, the south border is about 3 miles 
north of me here) for 200 dollars. He said he has never found a use for it 
but someday something might come up.....
