Well, the local storm season is here. Last night my blades,tail were wiped out .. Been looking around for an hour now ,,no sign of the blades (2 of them) . These were the abs plastic carved blades ,very strong ,but also light, so they could be acres away. The road and surrounding paddocks look like a war zone , and to make things worse,one of my downpipes to the water tank was twisted away from th einlet,bugger. Anyhow,, I'll pull everything apart thats left and start again.. Bruce Bushboy |

Hi Bruce , Sorrie to here about your mill damage , it is a inherant problem with the F&P that I have seen on many an occassion with my dual, where the stator becomes saturated and the mill is then out of controll . This is main reason I decided to go with the Ax Fx , as there is not a chance in the world it can start if the stator is shorted and will stop if needed in the most severe conditions .
