Agree completely on number 1... it's pathetic how poorly people can communicate nowdays... You'd think with all the education we have available nowdays, and on how much more interconnected we all...
Not familiar with the RD-172 and I'm about to embark on a road trip, so no time to check on it... what's the thrust and what's the cycle??
