Just for your information...Visual Cadd is still reading the dwg files
you're attaching very well.  It's not a problem, as they are easy to remove,
but the dwg of the mounting plate (CDADAP11.DWG) still has two of those
"lights" identified in far corners of the drawing.  See the attached jpg for
a tiled screen print of the two items (I added the location identifiers in
parenthesis).

Try this one Harley. I am sure I have them all now :-)

BTW Tracy, to make you feel better I will bring the pocketed plate down
with me when I come down to modify your test stand for a continuos
one radian per second nodding motion. 

For those that have recently
joined the newsletter a couple of our subscribers are fabricating a 
prototype variable pitch prop with carbon fiber blades. The gyro
loads on a prop are some of the most serious loads it can see.
What we intend to do is modify Tracy's test stand to nod up and down
at a continuos rate of one radian per second to test this prop
while the engine is turning the prop up as fast as possible.

We can test the pocketed plate at the same time by replacing Tracy's
existing plate on the test stand with the new pocketed plate.
