Dear John;

I put together over the years a 56 page (now 63 pages) of "ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT PROP PITCH ROTATORS". I'm sharing this with everyone but need $13.00
($3.00 covers US mail) to break even on the offer.

After you get the manuals and still need help, call me. I have been
refurbishing the small P/P units for many years....

Regards,
Joel, K2QBV
