Ed,

I thought you might have the specifics on this.  Three flanges on one 
engine...amazing!  The S SIG is working hard to promote using S standards among 
scale manufacturers.  Maybe someone needs to work just as hard to get a set of 
standards for 'non-scale' manufacturers, if that's even possible.
