I guess I'd better get the Space Balls DVD and capture some audio. "May the
schwartz be with you."
I just didn't have time to make a video this morning. I'll work on that

Maybe I can sneek a schwarts on the model too :^)

Thanks Philo!
I have a few spare helmets if you want one......
I have enough micromotors and helmets to make 5 Dark Helmets, but I think I only
really need one.

Thanks for the offer, but probably a full 8010 on sale would be cheaper that
