This is fine as long as you take into account the gravitational pull of the 2 moons encircling around the earth :D :D :D

If only my Physics teacher had taught us about gravitational pull using your avator, I may have taken more notice.
As for TDC I have a 6inch nail in a roof joist in my shed. Crank in, the case put the flywheel on next and hang the hole thing up mark the magside casting and its done.
I have never built a fire breathing beast like some of you guys do but works for me.
