John from Blitz did make a very nice workhorse of a machine.

Fixed it for ya. To attach an image link from facebook you need to use the location of the image not the page its on. Facebook and Tumblr can be a pain for this. You can also attach images directly, there are instructions in the getting started area of the site. Its not super simple but when you see how it works it really is in the end. Blame the people who programed vBulletin the platform the forum runs on.

There are some youtube videos of these running as well as the entire drive train explained. If you search "john clark" you should see a few videos with him running them and explaining them.

does anyone know if john made a decision on which version he was going to put into production?..I think in one video he says he has 8 prototypes he took to the philly show but wasn't sure yet which he was going to put into production..

I wonder if the usual folks that currently distribute his forward coil machines will also pick these up if they go into production.

as far as the last i talked to him, kingpin will carry the production model, which is like mine jus styling is different. he said he hasnt locked one down yet but he was leaning towards the one i posted. but its been a week or 2 since i talked to'em. im pretty sure it will be later in the year as my 2 new ones ,i cant get till after april.

So I just talked to John Yesterday, my forward coil broke it's rear spring and i did'nt have a spare so john told me to send it in, and then we got to talking about the rotaries, and i have ( well had just shipped it today) a painting of my forward coil john wanted. So we worked out a trade and i will be getting on of his new rotaries in two weeks. Very Excited, Wanted to know Ray how you like it so far.http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/25075_116234568395444_100000267039480_223906_11609 62_n.jpg

I really love the thing. It's soft in the hit. I tightened up the springs a lil and got a firmer hit out of it but still soft. I've used 7 mag and 9 mags in it for color and b&g and it ran well. It's quite a bit different in the way it runs i think. Personally , I think bigger mags would run in it but it's gonna be supa soft. I love it with a 7 mag , and not to mention its one hell of a looker. If for some reason you jus hate it get with me and I'll take it off your hands,lol.
