New Norvel .40 now available

The new Norvel .40 (R/C) is advertised on their website as being available for shipping now! It's been advertised for years as being ready in 2001.

The site (http://www.norvel.com/) suggests that the cylinder coating is "Sliktek", I wonder what happened to "Revlite"? Perhaps the change in coating is the reason for the long delay in release. Price is USD 109 and the weight is just under 11 oz, it doesn't say if this is with or without the muffler. The good news is that the carbureter clamp is behind, where it can easily be replaced by a ST type spraybar and needle. The .25 has the clamp in the front which complicates conversion to a C/L setup.
