Re: Valves

Steve,
Don't worry about, the connection will come in a few days or weeks. Pretty soon you will be talking just like the other guys on this thread. I do not expect any changes in the flow rate listed in last year's rules. However, the 2012 rules will be the only one's that apply to the upcoming season. The GDC felt that a limit in flow rate gives a more level playing field in respect to cylinder movement. Read that as don't expect to get a quick pneumatic action with a large diameter piston that has a long stroke.
