I ended up helping this group move a little further along on their project. (They are going to reconstruct a windmill and water-tower on a barn and use it for an arts center) As part of their fundraising program, they wanted a mill small enough to use in local parades etc. so I fixed them up with an X702. They wanted it to look old so we left the rust and dents and this time I "jazzed up" the tail lettering by outlining the red letters with black while being a bit crude about it. (I found out it is harder to do an intentionally "homemade-looking" job than doing a precise one) Now, it's got kind of circus poster look in order to gain a little more attention. We put it on one of my stands so it could be wheeled onto a trailer and then rolled off for a static display too. They tried it out at their winter festival and with some adjustments, it will work even better.
