That is an interesting wheel design, definitely not Aermotor. I have not seen an inner sail attachment like that before... I would be interested to learn more about the origins of this one..!


Hi, Todd. I think is an aermotor. I´ll show you some tail´s pictures. As well, It seems to be a 12 ft ...

Ok, Thank you!

Hi. Can anyone help me to identify this aermotor? I think It might be a 14 or 12 feet 602 but not sure. It belonged to my great grandfather who died in 1928. I would like to restore it´by preserving as much pieces as posible so I could be so dificult to find spare pieces. Im from Canary island ...

Tom, I have found similar mills with a mix of 602 and 702 parts. Same with early open gear models.
Aermotor made special hubs (Part #723) so you could use your 602 wheel arms on the 702.
I believe they used upped what they had on hand when they changed models.
