I have not. Dan Benjamin made me some new blades that he will bring to the trade fair for me, so kinda waiting on that. All the motor needs is new bearings poured. Most of work will be making the tail vane look nice. It's rusted pretty bad, will need to find a stencil for the lettering somehow.

That's one I do not have a stencil for.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.
