splitpin Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 All these posts MAY have a grain of truth to them but one fact still remains. JUNK!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The Solar powerplant they are offering to install is what the crane uses (APP), to power up the electrics, hydraulics, and for starting the aircraft........it is a very reliable and low cost turbine to run. Never thought I would see it used for something like this.. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH1 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 And when the box the kit comes in is suprisingly similar to a coffin, you might want to reconsider...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
